I saw this on Wikipedia, and I think it may be Wikimedia specific because I can't reproduce it on another MediaWiki installation elsewhere. In IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), the tie bar displays incorrectly. Contrast: * ɪt͡ʃ * <span class="IPA">ɪt͡ʃ</span> The tie bar symbol is meant to go between the two characters that it connects, and in the first case it works (i.e. it overlies the t and ʃ), but when it is inside the span directive, it goes wrong and the tie bar ends up being to the left of the intended location. I see this in both Firefox 12.0 and IE9, both running on Windows 7. I am listing this as Windows 7 bug as that's all I've tested it on, but other OSs could also be affected.
I copied: "ɪt͡ʃ <span class="IPA">ɪt͡ʃ</span>" into my user page on Wiki, test, and test2. I could not reproduce the erroneous view in IE9, FF17 or Chrome23. I checked on Vista and 7. Do you still see this error?

Trying with <html>t͡ʃ</html> and entering the unicode letters U+0074 U+0361 U+0283 manually I cannot reproduce the problem with Firefox 16 either...
