The phonetic symbols in red can be typed directly. The same symbols with the control key (Ctrl-a, Ctrl-b, ...) bring up the vector of phonetic symbols, one of which is chosen by typing a number (1, 2, ...). "?" and ":" are not IPA symbols, so they should behave as if they were Ctrl-? and Ctrl-:.

Symbols to the right of the semicolon ";" are not strictly speaking part of the International Phonetic Alphabet, but they are frequently used by comparative linguists as conventional protosegment symbols for certain language families with a well-established tradition of notation. The semicolon does not count as a position in the phonetic vector.

Modifier symbols go before or after a phonetic base symbol. They may be considered a separate segment, or they may be part of a glyph such as "pʷ" or "d¬" that can be made to count as a single symbol.

The same is true of diacritic symbols that overlay characters. Some, like the ring under "n̥", indicate a sound quality different from that of "n" and so would be part of a single glyph. Others, like the acute accent over "é", might indicate the tone of the syllable of which "e" is the vowel and be treated as a separate segment in a different glyph, but still overlaid.
