Attached to this email is an ASCII to Unicode IPA map file (TECkit mapping file). It is not complete; for example, it does not cover somewhat "exotic" symbols like "characters for disordered speech".
A more complete package can be downloaded from here: http://banyan.cm.nctu.edu.tw/~dgreenhoe/groups/ascii-uipa.zip It includes these files: ascii-uipa.map: not-compiled map file ascii-uipa.tec: compiled map file test.pdf: simple demo test.tex: XeLaTeX source for test.pdf zhipa.pdf: IPA renderings for the roughly 403 sounds (disregarding tones) of Mandarin Chinese typeset using ascii-uipa.map mappings. In case it is not immediately clear from examining these files, it should be pointed out that I am not an expert in either IPA or Chinese. So, there are no guarantees of accuracy in anything anyone may find in any of the files mentioned previously. I wish I could offer a more complete package. But at this point, it is difficult to justify the time. Many many thanks to all the people who so generously offered help along the way including (but certainly not necessarily limited to) Andy Lin, Ross Moore, Zdenek Wagner (who introduced me to TECkit mapping with regards to another project), Ulrike Fischer, and Peter Dyballa.
