Keyboard Layout
The keyboard layout is described in terms of an IPA chart rather than a keyboard. This is because
many base characters are typed as a sequence of a letter followed by one of <, >, = or | which are
characters used to change a base character to another base character. Diacritics are typed as sequences
of an appropriate key. Blue denotes non-IPA sanctioned phonetic symbols (they may be used by other
traditions such as Americanist, Chinese or Russian). Red denotes characters which are not in Unicode
(they are in SIL’s corporate PUA and will not likely be found in any other font).

Use “&” for Left-stem level tones, e.g. “&0” becomes A712 (꜒).

Glides to and from any level (e.g. “#32” becomes ˦˧) and any sequence of any two glides (e.g.
“#314” becomes ˦˨˥).

These require the use of Charis SIL (http://scripts.sil.org/CharisSIL) or Doulos SIL
(http://scripts.sil.org/DoulosSIL) version 4.1 or greater. They will turn into contours if used in
Graphite applications.
