We had this type of thread before.
Make sure you have a font installed that has the IPA glyphs in it.
Then use Insert>Special Characters. Choose the IPA font and then the
IPA subset. Click on the character[s] you need and click OK. This will
place the "special character[s]" in your text at the cursor.
I believe that Arial Unicode has IPA glyphs in it. Though
GentiumPlus-1.504, DoulosSIL, and CharisSIL, seems to be IPA fonts. I
have them if you do not have these fonts or other font with IPA glyphs.
I do not use many IPA characters, but I have had the need for Spanish
and French characters such as ñ and ç, that are not on my English keyboard.

be found under /Phonetic Symbols/ in the list of http://unicode.org/charts/
Unicode 6.0 Character Code Charts . Although by far not as high that of CJK,
the amount of IPA chars (with combining diacritics) results in a long list
of char (combination)/key combination mappings. Fortunately, most users
need just a subset of it.
