TIPA is a free software package providing International Phonetic Alphabet and other phonetic character capabilities for TeX and LaTeX. Written by Rei Fukui ( 福井玲, Fukui Rei), TIPA is based upon the author's previous work in TSIPA.[ clarification needed] In 2018, the TeX TIPA Roman font was selected as best representing the IPA symbol set by the International Phonetic Association's Alphabet, Charts and Fonts committee. [1]
TIPA characters are placed within a LaTeX document using any of the following ways: \textipa{...}
, {\tipaencoding ...}
, or \begin{IPA} ... \end{IPA}
.
TIPA supports many of the symbols in the Phonetic Symbol Guide (though macros are sometimes required) as well as a few idiosyncratic ones, such as a small-capital ꞯ and an l–ɾ ligature 𝼑.
