Case variants of IPA letters

With the adoption of letters from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) in various national alphabets, letter case forms have been developed. This usually means capital (uppercase) forms were developed, but in the case of the glottal stop and pharyngeal, both uppercase ⟨Ɂ⟩, ⟨꟎⟩ and lowercase ⟨ɂ⟩, ⟨꟏⟩ are used.

Chart
The chart below provides IPA letters (other than those of the English alphabet) and their capital forms. Two of these capitals have distinct lowercase forms, because the IPA letters (ʔ and ʕ) are unicameral in some orthographies and bicameral in others. Sources may differ in the graphic form of the capital letter; where these are corresponding characters in Unicode, only one will be encoded as a casing pair with the IPA letter. If casing is to be maintained, the other form will need to be accessed as a character variant in the font rather than through the dedicated Unicode character. Capitals of obsolete IPA symbols are: For some IPA letters that do not have Unicode-supported capitals, there may be a mathematical symbol or letter in a non-Latin script that coincidentally resembles the expected capital letter. However, it is unlikely such pairings will work reliably across fonts. Examples are: • : complement symbol (not always distinct from ) • : Lisu letter (Tsha) • : sans-serif • : Lisu letter (Fa) • : old Abkhaz letter (Cche) • : sans-serif == References ==
