Exporting results using ASCII instead of unicode

[kdaniels.slp]

I need the IPA symbols to be made available to a programmer in ASCII rather than Unicode (used in PHON). Is there a way to do this? I understand ASCII has fewer symbols, and perhaps I will need to create my own “translation” and find/replace in the exported spreadsheet. But if there is a better/standard way to do this I would like to know about it and use it.

Dear kdaniels.slp,

    Back in the times before computer systems could all handle UTF8, there was a wide variety of systems for representing phonemes in ASCII.  One used by the CHILDES system was called UNIBET.  There was also a system called SAMPA that was widely used.  For both of these, you needed to make a custom set for the specific language you were using.  You can find information about SAMPA in Wikipedia.
