I am having trouble mapping TIPA input sequences involving the backslash symbol. An example is the "\:t" sequence used for IPA's voiceless retroflex plosive. I have tried this is my ascii map file: reverse_solidus colon latin_small_letter_t <> latin_small_letter_t_with_retroflex_hook which is a directive to map \:t to U+0288. The TECkit compiler compiles with no errors. But when I actually try to use it with XeLaTeX, I get the error "Missing $ inserted". That is, XeLaTeX is trying to interpret $\:$ as the math mode spacing directive.
I have noted that xunicode also has the same problem: \textipa{\:t} Is there work-around for this?
