It can be because you don't have an appropriate font installed on your system, or because the browser doesn't choose the correct font.

Missing font

In order to check if your system has a font capable to display the special characters, try to copy them from the browser and paste them as "unformatted Unicode text" to a word processor (in Microsoft Word using: Edit → Paste special → Unformatted Unicode text).

This Embedded OpenType (EOT) font file was created from the Doulos SIL font, using Microsoft's Web Embedding Fonts Tool.

It contains all the characters from the font (no subsetting).
It will only work for pages under "en.wikipedia.org" (as was defined in 'allowed roots').

Example of usage:

@font-face {
       font-family: DoulosSIL_wiki;
       src: url(//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:DoulosSILR_wiki_en.eot&action=raw);
     }

.IPA {
       font-family: DoulosSIL_wiki, "Chrysanthi Unicode", "Doulos SIL", Gentium, GentiumAlt, Code2000, "TITUS Cyberbit Basic", "DejaVu Sans", "Bitstream Cyberbit", "Arial Unicode MS", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro", "Matrix Unicode";

       font-size:125%;
}
