The slashes around IPA symbols are not part of the IPA itself, but just serve to indicate that the contents of the brackets are not normal text, but a phonemic transcription. The distinction is important, as some IPA transcriptions can look like other words. For example, an IPA transcription for bean could be {{IPA|/bin/}}.
