The Handbook will also contain the Illustrations of the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet for different languages, which have been published in JIPA since 1989, and Appendices with a variety of reference material including Principles of the IPA, computer coding tables for phonetic symbols, extended symbol usage, history, statutes and by-laws.
