Character panel

← Guide index · 中文 · the keyboard icon at the bottom left of the navigation bar, or Ctrl+I in any text box

The character panel is a floating window (movable and resizable). Clicking a symbol inserts it at the cursor of the input that last had focus, without interrupting your typing. It works on every page.

1. Tabs

Tab	Contents
Pulmonic consonants	The IPA chart by place × manner
Non-pulmonic	Clicks, implosives, ejectives
Vowels	The vowel chart + other vowels
Diacritics	Every IPA diacritic (shown in the ◌̥ form)
Suprasegmentals	Length, stress, syllable boundaries, etc.
Tones	Tone letters and contour marks
Symbols	Other common symbols
Latin extended	Common Latin letters with diacritics
Compose	See below
Recent / Saved	Recently inserted symbols; right-click any symbol to save it
Project characters	The current language’s phonemes and the glyphs of each of its scripts, shown in the script’s font

The search box at the top searches by name or feature (“retroflex”, “nasal”, “voiced”). Hovering a symbol shows its name and code point.

2. Compose

Pick a base character, then click diacritics one after another; the preview shows the combined result live, and several diacritics can be stacked. The Normalize switch decides whether the output is NFC-composed (precomposed characters are used where they exist, e.g. e + ́ → é). When it looks right, click Insert or Copy.

3. Tips

Clicking in the panel doesn’t take focus away from the input, so you can insert several symbols in a row.
In Skin, choose a font with complete IPA coverage (Charis SIL / Gentium Plus) for the “language data” slot so that stacked diacritics display correctly.
