HelpRe: Adding other symbols to pronunciation.
in reply to a message by nysgjerrighet
Hi there,
In order to get those "special symbols" in your name submission, you need to provide its IPA pronunciation. For example, the IPA pronunciation for the name Jean (1) is /ʒɑ̃/, which would be rendered as ZHAHᴺ when you click the simplify button.
The same also applies to any user-submitted-names. After submitting the name with a correct pronunciation, click the simplify button and it will show you which sounds are aspirated (ᴴ), nasalized (ᴺ), so on, and so forth.

I see now I’ll have to consult IPA pronunciations for when a name I’m submitting has those specific features (nasalisations, palatalisations, aspirations, etc.). Nonetheless, thank you for the insightful answer!
You're very welcome 😁
