The ASCII column shows the corresponding symbol in the ASCII Phonetic Alphabet, which can be used to
type the pronunciation of words on a computer without the use of special fonts. This Ling 102/WI course
uses the ASCII font for its ease of use. As you can see, the alphabets are not completely different.
