It would not be easy to display normal phonetic characters on the Apple 
screen, but there is no need, as ARPA has developed Arpabet, a way to
represent the Intenational Phonetic Alphabet using only one or two ordinary
upper case letters.  This system is used for the Macintalk speech synthesizer.
If you absolutly must use ordinary phonetic letters, one way to display them
on the screen is to use the GraForth programming system by Paul Lutus, which
uses a character set that easily be changed to whatever you want.  Many
printers, including the Imagewriter II, will accept a downloaded font which
can then be used to print out phonetic spelling.
