Hello
So I've read "Using LyX to Display Phonetic Characters (IPA)"
(https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX#toc4) specifically about the
different ways of entering glyphs, etc. with the IPA inset but what
still isn't clear to me is how I enter a code point like 0x0298
directly using the IPA inset (bilabial click that appears second on
the left on the main IPA toolbar). Is there a way to do this? Also
is there a way to enter more than one at the same time in the same
inset?
Not with unicode-insert. I suppose we should fix that and allow
multiple characters, as will self-insert. If you file a bug report
about that, I expect it can be fixed quite quickly.
But note that you can do things like:
self-insert ຄໆໆ
where the Unicode characters are just given explicity.

Hi Riki
I suppose I'm just thick but how do you the equivalent of
"self-insert 0x0298" in the command buffer? All that happens in an
inset or outside of one is that the text string "0x0298" gets
inserted. I didn't think it appropriate to ask about this in Ticket
#11084 <https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11084>.
The self-insert LFUN enters exactly what you give it, whereas
unicode-insert accepts codepoints. The reason to have both has to do
with file encodings, etc.

Thanks Riki. I understand finally.
Best
Mike
