      7.5.9 portable in Japanese with “Noto Mono” font

      First, create txt in UTF-8, write bʰ, then write d. Completely broken
      Another example, write bʰ, then put ideographic space. And this time it’s not broken
      What’s happen? What’s wrong in the former one?

      Basically notepad++ cannot display most of Phonetic characters constantly properly on my PC. What’s wrong? Is encoding of notepad++ completely sucks? Or is my setting wrong?

        Hello, @tokiedian-steelpanthers,

        Your default Noto Mono font does not reproduce the glyphs of the Unicode IPA Extensions block characters, below :

        http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0250.pdf

        Here are, below, a table with a summary of some monospaced fonts, which represent all IPA extensions characters, properly

        For the record, you may, also, refer to :

        • The two MS Mincho and MS Gothic fonts, which can handle the Japanese Hiragana and Katakata characters

        • The proportional  fonts Lucida Sans Unicode and Microsoft Sans Serif, which both support the IPA Extensions characters, too
