Characters with decimal numbers above 255 will just show the hex code. In the display above it says "U-0020 (32)," which is the code for space character, which you will note is selected by default when you open the Insert Special Character popup.) For the first 255 it will show the hex code followed by the decimal code (0-255) in parentheses. If you select a character in the display you will note a number in the lower right corner of the popup window. There is also a scroll bar on the character display and you will note that the Subset drop-down will change as you scroll down. This drop-down will start out with "Basic Latin" (see above) and with the drop-down you can see other Unicode subsets - "Latin-1," "Latin-Extended-A and -B," "IPA Extensions," "Spacing Modifier Letters," and "Combining Diacritical Marks." There are more in the drop-down, but these are the ones you will be most concerned with. To the right of the font drop-down you will see "Subset" and another drop-down. 's functionality is pretty much the same on all platforms.) Don't fret yourself over the borders around the window.
(Side note: The screenshots on this page were taken on a computer running on a Linux computer using a particular desktop theme. (Tip: Click on the Font drop-down, then type the first letter of the font you are using, which will pop the Font drop-down directly to your font.) Therefore, the first thing to do is use the drop-down to set the popup window to the IPA font you are using. A window will pop up (see below) showing characters and it will be set by default to Verdana or some other font that you are probably not using. To do this in Writer, Calc or Impress, go to Insert > Special Character. But if you just need to insert an occasional character it may be easier to use the Insert Special Character feature of than to insert it with the system method above. (But Windows users see the Special note for Windows users at the bottom of this page.) Many users employ the system input way as their normal method. You can insert IPA characters into any application using the system method under General stuff to know about IPA on the main page for your operating system - just click on one of the icons in the sidebar to the right.
If you need help installing it, go to How to install fonts on your computer. So if you don't have an IPA font installed yet, go to Cool free IPA fonts to download and download one. You won't be able to use IPA with until you have an IPA font installed, and most operating systems don't install one by default. is available for just about all versions of Windows, MacOS and Linux and is a free download from. We are so impressed! Your coolness score just went up by a fairly massive amount!
