As you can see below, many IPA symbols are complex and not at all suited for a common use alphabet, nor are they compatible with cursive writing.
NOTE: 7M is a COMPLETE alphabet. It doesn't have an unofficial extension made up of digraphs (e.g.: ch, sh, th, ng, zh, gh, nk, ph or wr). A single character now represents those speech sounds.
In the third column, the sound that the 7M and IPA characters represent is in brackets.
