[Language Request] English International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)
Information
Is it possible to add English International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to Font 8 (with Cyrillic alphabet) (to display the transcription of English words), they obviously partially coincide with the existing ones, but it seems to me that not all of them.

At first I thought "sure, why not?" - I'm a language teacher so I'm pretty familiar with the IPA, thought there are A LOT of symbols in use even just by English... according to Wikipedia the Unicode block contains 96 characters total, though perhaps English uses only about 40 or so (I think)... and indeed, a lot of them are based on Latin, Greek, Cyrillic characters anyway so it would be mostly just figuring out where to copy and paste...
I'll consider it. But... why?
And just sticking some links here for later reference:

I'll consider it. But... why?
It’s simple, I show the word of the day in English and Ukrainian, but I also want a transcription so that it is clear not only how the word is written, but also how it is pronounced.
