I need a way for clients to easily add International Phonetic Alphabet symbols into editor textareas. I know I can add the 80 or so characters needed to the character map plugin, but what I would like to do is replace the default set completely, so that only the needed IPA symbols appear. Much less hunting and scrolling :-)

I've done that by replacing the default character set in /components/com_jce/editor/tiny_mce/plugins/charmap/editor_plugin.js with the IPA symbols, which works like a charm, but is there any way to avoid overwriting that, or to create a separate override that won't get overwritten on every update?

Also, how can I change the charmap icon from the omega to my IPA icon?

Wow. Thank you! Is that J!4-rc5, php 8 compatible? When I added it to a profile layout the editor, the editor doesn't load and I get these errors in the Developer Tools console:

It's in an editor textarea in an RSForm Pro form, embedded in an article with the RSForm content plugin, accessed on the front side. The same thing happens in the Joomla Article Manager in the back end, though.

Interesting that you should ask that, though. When I specify Tiny as the editor in the user account that opens the form in the front side, it refuses to load in any language other than Afrikaans.

OK, I found the problem. It was a TinyMCE IPA plugin that I had tried and rejected, but apparently forgot to remove.

JCE with the new IPA plugin works perfectly - thank you so much!!!:D
