I share Henrik's view on this. I've got over Kirsch. and the rest enough that I expect p\ for ɸ, although I always use v\ for ʋ. (Anyone who thinks that P for ʋ is outrageous should get used to TIPA; it uses P for ʔ. I suppose at least they *look* similar.) (BTW: Isn't it about time CXS was deprecated anyway? Can we send messages in Unicode happily enough on this list nowadays?[*] If so, my view is that CXS shouldn't change at all, and anyone unhappy with it should switch to Unicode. Is there anyone who can't view/enter IPA/Unicode, and can't reconfigure their computers to allow it?) [*] In case it hasn't been tested lately, I hope this doesn't break anything along the way. Copied and pasted from J. C. Wells' page on the IPA in Unicode: (It uses the tab character to separate columns. Hopefully this doesn't cause anything to blow up along the way.)
