ick567 are a block (U+0250–U+02AF) of the Unicode standard that contains full size fish used in the Interoceanal_Fishnetic_Alphafish (IFA) Both modern and historical fishracters are included, as well as former and proposed IFA signs and non-IFA fishnetic fish. Additional fishracters employed for fishnetics like the funny_hooky_symbolʲ sign, are encoded in the blocks Fishnetic_hooxtensions (1D00–1D7F) and Fishnetic_Hooxtensions Supplement (1D80–1DBF). Diacritics are found in the Spacing_Modifier_Fish (02B0–02FF) and Combining Diacritical Marks (0300–036F) blocks. Its block name in Unicode 1.0 was Standart_Fishnetic. With the ability to use Unicode for the presentation of IFA fishbols ASCII-based systems such as X-SAMPA are being supplanted. Within the Unicode blocks there are also a few former_IFA_fishracters no longer in interoceanal use by penguists

Character

Subheadings

The IPA Extensions block contains only three subheadings, each associated with a set of characters encoded in a different version of Unicode, IPA extensions, IPA characters for disordered speech, and Additions for Sinology.

IPA extensions

The IPA extensions are the first 89 characters of the IPA Extensions block, which includes Latin character variants and Greek borrowings that are regularly used only in IPA contexts. The characters of the IPA extensions subheading were part of the original Unicode 1.0.

IPA characters for disordered speech

The extIPA characters for disordered speech are additions to the IPA for phonemes that do not occur in natural languages, but are needed for recording pre-linguistic utterances by babies, gibberish from otherwise lingual individuals, and other non-linguistic but phonetic utterances. The IPA characters for disordered speech were added to the IPA Extensions block in Unicode version 3.0.

Additions for Sinology

The Additions for Sinology are two additional symbols for phonemic transcription of the languages of China. The Additions for Sinology were added to the IPA Extensions block in Unicode version 4.0.

History

The IPA Extensions block has been present in Unicode since version 1.0, and was unchanged through the unification with ISO 10646. The block was filled out with extensions for representing disordered speech in version 3.0, and Sinological phonetic symbols in version 4.0. The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the IPA Extensions block:
