The phonetic symbols we make available to the scientific community have been divided into two groups, according to whether they can be used on their own or as bases of compound symbols (those are included in Chart 1 and their name begins with ipa) or whether they must be used necessarily as diacritics for compound symbols (those are included in Chart 2 and their name begins with dia). Formation of the compound symbols needs to be done from the creation of new animated *.gif which combine ipa and dia symbols in the fashion explained below.

Other diacritics may be placed for instance above a symbol (for symbols like , or ) or below a symbol (for symbols like , or ). We have built five series of diacritics, namely *a.gif, *b.gif, *c.gif, *d.gif and *e.gif, with which any combinatory possibility is allowed; thus, the nasal vowel 
will be formed with the symbol ipa068a.gif and the diacritic dia13a.gif (both *a.gif), whereas the voiceless velar nasal 
will be formed with the symbol ipa019b.gif and the diacritic dia14b.gif (both *b.gif). In order to build new compound symbols, it is necessary for each case to add the appropriate gif-series to the names listed below.
