I was playing around with making my very own IPA keyboard, and I discovered to my surprise that Unicode has no Latin Small Theta (for IPA). We have LATIN SMALL LETTER ALPHA (U+0251), LATIN SMALL LETTER GAMMA (U+0263), LATIN SMALL LETTER EPSILON (U+052B, though that's its old name), LATIN SMALL LETTER IOTA (U+0269), LATIN SMALL LETTER UPSILON (U+028A), LATIN SMALL LETTER PHI (U+0278), but no Latin Theta or Beta (bilabial fricative). That can't be right. If IPA deserves Latin versions of ÎÎÎÎÏÏ, then it needs them for ÎÎ too.
