Besides the difference in letter shape (variations on a pipe for Lepsius, modifications of Latin letters for Jones), there was a conceptual difference between them and Doke or Beach: Lepsius used one letter as the base for all click consonants of the same place of articulation (called the 'influx'), and added a second letter or diacritic for ...
Either letter, whether baseline or superscript, is usually placed before the click letter, but may come after when the release of the velar or uvular occlusion is audible. A third convention is the click letter with diacritics for voicelessness, voicing and nasalization; it does not distinguish velar from uvular alveolar clicks.
The IPA click letters indicate only the click type (forward articulation and release). Therefore, all clicks require two letters for proper notation: k͡ǀ, ɡ͡ǀ, q͡ǀ , etc., or with the order reversed if both the forward and rear releases are audible.
