=== Notes === * The IPA symbols that are ordinary lower case letters have the same value in X-SAMPA as they do in the IPA. * X-SAMPA uses [[backslash]]es as modifying suffixes to create new symbols. For example, '''<code>[[Open-mid back rounded vowel|O]]</code>''' is a distinct sound from '''<code>[[Bilabial click|O\]]</code>''', to which it bears no relation. Such use of the backslash character can be a problem, since many programs interpret it as an [[escape character]] for the character following it. For example, such X-SAMPA symbols do not work in [[EMU (speech database system)|EMU]], so backslashes must be replaced with some other symbol (e.g., an [[asterisk]]: '*') when adding phonemic transcription to an EMU speech database. The backslash has no fixed meaning. * X-SAMPA diacritics follow the symbols they modify. Except for '''<code>~</code>''' for [[nasalization]], '''<code>=</code>''' for [[Syllabic consonant|syllabicity]], and '''<code>`</code>''' for [[retroflexion]] and [[r-colored vowel|rhotacization]], diacritics are joined to the character with the underscore character '''<code>_</code>'''. * The underscore character is also used to encode the IPA [[Tie (typography)|tiebar]]: <code>k_p</code> codes for {{IPA|/kΝ‘p/}}. * The numbers <code>_1</code> to <code>_6</code> are reserved diacritics as shorthand for language-specific tone numbers. * The [[IETF language tag]]s registry has assigned {{code|fonxsamp}} as the subtag for text transcribed in X-SAMPA.<ref name="IETF">{{cite web |title=Language Subtag Registry |url=https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry |publisher=IETF |access-date=12 November 2022 |format=text |date=2022-08-08}}</ref>
