I am talking about these for example ...
   T  ==> theta ('124)
   A  ==> script A ('101)
   @ ==> schwa ('100)
   2  ==> turned V ('062)
   D  ==> Eth ('104)
   E  ==> epsilon ('105)
   N  ==> right-tail n ('357)
   S  ==> Esh ('123)
   U  ==> upsilon ('125)
   "   ==> vertical stroke superior ('042)

Yes, this works with the GNU FreeFont "FreeSans.otf":
   \textipa{TA at 2"DENSU}
Thank you!

Besides the command \textipa, is there also an textipa environment
available (called, say, textipaEnvironment) such that I could do
something like this?
  \begin{tabular}{r>{\textipaEnvironment}l}
     1. & TA at 2"DENSU \\
     2. & TA at 2"DENSU
  \end{tabular}

Besides a brief README, I did not see any documentation for xunicode
on CTAN. I did look at the xunicode.sty file in my texlive
installation, but I did not see anything that I could recognize as
such an environment.
