The names IPA Full and IPA Extended aren’t clear #2

What’s the difference between IPA Full and IPA Extended?

Many symbols in the IPA chart are missing from the IPA Full keyboard. One would assume the IPA Full covers the IPA chart. Neither of them actually covers the full IPA symbol set.

I’m guessing IPA Full was a first version and IPA Extended was a second version since there is also quite a lot of differences between the key bindings.

Hi @moyogo, any suggestion on this? I'm not a linguist so any help about it would be more than welcome. The character mapping I'm using currently was defined here : https://github.com/alterebro/IPA-Keyboard/blob/master/src/frontend/scripts/app.js#L24

@alterebro sorry for not getting back earlier. IPA Full should cover the IPA chart (for example https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/content/full-ipa-chart or https://westonruter.github.io/ipa-chart/keyboard/). IPA Extended could support Extended IPA (for example https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/sites/default/files/extIPAChart2008.pdf or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensions_to_the_International_Phonetic_Alphabet).

What do you think?
