Not broken, but it takes you to the home page of the Department of
Linguistics at the University of Victoria (British Columbia), which
doesn't seem to be much help. You have to do some navigating to end up
at:
http://web.uvic.ca/ling/resources/ipa/charts/unicode_ipa-chart.htm
which shows a full IPA chart (with additions) in Unicode.
Note that in the "Contour" section at lower right, the characters that
are supposed to be built from combinations of tone bars (U+02E5 through
U+02E9) are replaced by a big red notice, "NOT YET SUPPORTED BY
UNICODE." They are, but it's probably an understatement to say that
font support for these combinations is a bit weak.

Thank you, Doug. This is a useful test page for IPA support. It would be
even more useful if it attempted to display 02E5-02E9, perhaps with a
suitable note about limited support.
