So for those who might be interested in such things... Here's a page with some ways to install support for typing IPA characters. Windows, Ubuntu, and Mac OS all listed. Totally useful for those who might work with IPA given the option.

Additionally, here's a page listing the decimal and hexadecimal codes for each of the IPA characters in the Unicode spec. On Windows, you can hold Alt, type the Decimal number on the number pad (*not* the row of numbers above the letter keys, sorry), and then release Alt between characters. The hexadecimal numbers are useful in HTML, where you can use &#____; to get the same result online.
