As this is phonetic notation, and presumably therefore non-casing, what
would one lose (except possibly respect and font support) by using the likes
of U+1D41A MATHEMATICAL BOLD SMALL A? Such characters even have the benefit
of having compatibility decompositions as the plain letters. (A similar
trick was suggested to me for the italic letters in the Concise Oxford
English Dictionary's respelling system. It wouldn't work for italicised
letters in phonetic schemes using other scripts.)
