What is each phoneme in IPA terms?

[obones]

Describing the pronunciation of words is usually done using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) which uses Unicode characters.
However, this package outputs ASCII character and there exists multiple mappings from Unicode IPA to ASCII.
Which one are you using?

The readme file says you are using The CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, which in turns says it's based upon ARPABET. Can I thus safely assume you are using this subset of ARPABET for all results?

@obones I'm using this conversion for my own work. (UW without any number seems to be a mistake -- CMU dictionary does not have any entry with UW)
