Hello,

Thanks for raising this, but I am afraid this isn't a bug in my package. A package globally changes the way characters are printed which messes up the expected typesetting of my package. I also appreciate the patch that you have sent and the efforts taken by its author, but I don't think it's a good idea to add this globally in the package as not everyone will be using XeCJK. For normal users, the package does produce the expected output, so why to patch the code? I don't want to mess things up with the normally working codes. I advise you to use the patch locally.

Original issue is described at https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/696172/tipauni-xecjk-loading-xecjk-messes-up-position-of-ipa-diacritics.
---------------------------------------------
Loading tipauni with xeCJK changes the spacing of some IPA diacritics. For instance, consider the following minimal example:
```
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[documentfont=DoulosSIL]{tipauni}
\usepackage{xeCJK} % order of loading does not matter

\begin{document}
\textipa{\|x{m}\s{m}}
\end{document}
```
This produces what is in "bad.png," instead of the expected "good.png."

As TeX Stack Exchange user egreg identified, this is related to the interchar tokens xeCJK activates. When xeCJK is not loaded:
```
....\TU/DoulosSIL(0)/m/n/10 m̽m̩
```

And when it is:
```
....\TU/DoulosSIL(0)/m/n/10 m
....\kern -0.0002
....\kern 0.0002
....\TU/DoulosSIL(0)/m/n/10 ̽
....\kern -0.0002
....\kern 0.0002
....\TU/DoulosSIL(0)/m/n/10 m
....\kern -0.0002
....\kern 0.0002
....\TU/DoulosSIL(0)/m/n/10 ̩
....\kern -0.0002
....\kern 0.0002
```
```

egreg proposes the following patch to `\textipa`:
```
\ExplSyntaxOn
\RenewDocumentCommand\textipa{ +m }
{
\group_begin:
\l__tipauni_extras_tl % <--- added
\cs_set_eq:NN \* \tipaunistar
\cs_set_eq:NN \: \tipaunicolon
\cs_set_eq:NN \; \tipaunisemicolon
\cs_set_eq:NN \! \tipaunibang
\cs_set_eq:NN \| \tipaunipipe
\cs_set_eq:NN \t \tipaunit
\seq_map_inline:Nn \l__tipauni_remove_from_accents_seq
{ \tl_remove_all:Nn \l_text_accents_tl {##1} }
\tl_set:Nx \l__tipauni_textipa_tl { \text_expand:n {#1} }
\use:x
{
\exp_not:n
{
\escapechar = `\\
\tl_set:Nx \l__tipauni_textipa_tl
{ \exp_args:No \__tipauni_act:n \l__tipauni_textipa_tl }
\escapechar =
}
\int_use:N \escapechar
}
\exp_stop_f:
\l__tipauni_textipa_tl
\__tipauni_nontipa_search:
\group_end:
}

\tl_new:N \l__tipauni_extras_tl

\NewDocumentCommand{\settipaextras}{m}
{
\tl_set:Nn \l__tipauni_extras_tl { #1 }
}

\ExplSyntaxOff

\settipaextras{\xeCJKsetup{xeCJKactive=false}}
```

This fixes the issue.
