Why are the phonetic symbols of Webster's Advanced English Dictionary and Webster's University Dictionary different?
The Webster's dictionary you mentioned should be the original version, and the target audience is English-speaking learners, mainly Americans and Canadians, so Webster's dictionary series is adopted.

The Webster's Advanced English Dictionary you mentioned should be a cooperative version with domestic publishing houses, which is suitable for English learners in Chinese mainland. Phonetic symbols should be specially modified for mainlanders. I have never used this dictionary, so it may not be KK phonetic alphabet or Webster phonetic alphabet. Is it an international phonetic symbol?
