this is a table of inputs for the P2 to TALK phonetic writing system from Petscop. in the series, it serves as a way to input words in-game by plugging in a second controller and using button combos to write out words phonetically.
/ʒ/ and /ɔɪ/ never show up in the series, and therefore aren't marked here despite logically needing values. if i had to pick a place to assign them, i'd encode /ʒ/ as L1○ and /ɔɪ/ as ○.
(Petscop, and by extention, this system, is by pressedyes.)
