I don't use Emacs, but if you're using such systems, then you should
know that if you right-click on most GTK+ text boxes there's a thing
that lets you select an IME, one of which is IPA, which was included
only because the default GTK+ IMEs are ports of the ones that are
shipped in Emacs. So I don't know how you access it, but Emacs should
be able to do it...

(If not, *my* texteditor is UTF-8 out-of-the-box and supports the GTK+
IMEs too. So :P )
