Yeah... the problem, basically, is that you're not going to get this
in any form that your speech program can process, even if you could
get it into HTML, which is unlikely in itself.  I'll describe the
sequence of characters to you - it may be difficult to use them, but
at least you'll know what they are.

x barred-l p-with-ejective-diacritic chi-with-superscript-w
barred-l t barred-l p barred-l barred-l s space k-with-superscript-w
c-with-ejective-diacritic

The ejective diacritic is like an apostrophe above the letter.
What I call "barred-l" above is Unicode U+026C LATIN SMALL LETTER L
WITH BELT, the IPA character for for a voiceless alveolar lateral
fricative.
