The IPA standards (which X-SAMPA and Kirshenbaum build on) define _U+20A7_
and _U+0261_ as being equivalent to _a succession of U+0074 and U+0283_, and
_U+0067_, respectively. The former two code points just represent
compatibility glyphs (with U+20A7 leading to needless confusion, since
people might reasonably believe that it meant the same as U+0074 U+2040
U+0283, including the tie I mention above).
Kirshenbaum mentions ASCII g as mapping to both U+0067 and U+0261 without
comment. Including both would not add to the semantic range of what the user
can input (in terms of the IPA), and would again be needlessly confusing
(the user types g; wonders if 0 or 1 is more appropriate; when it doesn’t
actually matter, and U+0067 is always more certain to be preserved by
software). Kirshenbaum ignores U+20A7.
X-SAMPA ignores both U+20A7 and the U+0067 vs. U+0261 question.
