Harrington differed from the International Phonetic Alphabet in the following symbols: a kappa  (small-cap 'k') for , a  for , a slanted bar  for , a reversed apostrophe  for aspiration, and a right-turned (standard) apostrophe  for a glottal stop (this symbol was also used for ejectives and glottalized sonorants).
