Where is the IPA symbol eng (as in sing)?

Most fonts have a very small selection in the IPA Extensions character
subset. Even Arial Unicode MS doesn't seem to include it, so you may have
to look for a font that has just the IPA characters. See

Times New Roman, Arial Unicode, and Tahoma (at least as distributed
with Windows Vista and/or Office2007) includes the full range of "IPA
Extensions" and "Phonetic Extensions" -- but the "engma" character
isn't there. You'll find it at Unicode 014B, in the "Latin Extended-A"
range, because the Unicode people found it used in the alphabets of a
couple of languages, before they added the phonetics ranges.

The SIL Encore-IPA font probably isn't Unicode-encoded, if it includes
this letter among the other phonetic characters.
 
Ah, that makes sense. I knew I'd seen it and couldn't imagine why I couldn't
find it among the IPA Extensions. And of course I'm seeing it now at 014B in
ordinary Arial and many other fonts.
