Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character?

I would agree if IPA wasn’t so stupidly European. Basicallly has the same issue as Esperanto.

European how? IIRC it’s one sign, one sound.

As in strongly focused in Europe. Some of the most well-known criticism of IPA are that it does not properly help reflect the phonetics of languages present in the Americas, Africa or Asia. Ya know, continents that are not Europe. Heck a good meme among the know-who could be to call the IPA as A, as it’s not International and not Phonetic.

Then maybe the solution is to expand the IPA to include all those sounds.
