Hello
So I've read "Using LyX to Display Phonetic Characters (IPA)"
(https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX#toc4) specifically about
the different ways of entering glyphs, etc. with the IPA inset
but what still isn't clear to me is how I enter a code point like
0x0298 directly using the IPA inset (bilabial click that appears
second on the left on the main IPA toolbar). Is there a way to do
this? Also is there a way to enter more than one at the same
time in the same inset?
Not with unicode-insert. I suppose we should fix that and allow
multiple characters, as will self-insert. If you file a bug report
about that, I expect it can be fixed quite quickly.
But note that you can do things like:
self-insert ຄໆໆ
where the Unicode characters are just given explicity.

Hi Riki
I suppose I'm just thick but how do you the equivalent of
"self-insert 0x0298" in the command buffer? All that happens in an
inset or outside of one is that the text string "0x0298" gets
inserted. I didn't think it appropriate to ask about this in
Ticket #11084 <https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11084>.
The self-insert LFUN enters exactly what you give it, whereas
unicode-insert accepts codepoints. The reason to have both has to do
with file encodings, etc.
Riki
Thanks Riki. I understand finally.
PS If you look under Help> LyX Functions, that's where it's documented
what all of these do. If the documentation doesn't seem clear enough,
let us know, and we'll fix it.
As they say in Glasgow you're a star
