The phonetic symbols are Unicode symbols.  To see them, you need a Unicode font and a
browser/navigator that can use them.

Fonts:  For Windows, "Lucida Sans Unicode" is standard for Windows, but it might not be on
your system.  Download it from the link below.

To download a font or other troubleshooting issues, the best placed to start is the IPA in
