You can access glyphs at Edit > Emoji and Symbols or by using control + command + space bar

That will open the selector menu, which defaults to Emoji.

Click the "keyboard switch" in the upper right:

You'll then have a broader menu of glyphs from which to choose.

You may need to change the typeface as not all glyphs and symbols are embedded in all font families.

For some characters, standard Latin with diacritical marks, simply hold down the key (example of holding down "a" below)

Input systems for IPA will normally work for all apps.

Here is one that may be useful if you do a lot of this:

Otherwise use Character Viewer. If you go to the gear wheel at top left and select customize, you can check a box for Phonetic Alphabet.
