Assuming that "IPA symbols" refers to the International Phonetic Alphabet, those characters should all be available in the Unicode character set. When you create your database, you'll need to ensure that you are using a Unicode character set (AL32UTF8). And you'll need to ensure that your application supports Unicode.
