and this guy was like, "I don't think that 'u' is stressed!".

(Sorry, but I can't make sense either of the characters you wrote above

  Here's the whole shebang in ASCII:

MODIFIER LETTER VERTICAL LINE - meaning the next syllable is stressed
LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED R - to me that a bunched American r
MODIFIER LETTER SMALL W - that r is rounded! (because it's initial)
LATIN SMALL LETTER UPSILON - open "u"
MODIFIER LETTER HALF TRIANGULAR COLON - that open "u" is half-lenghtened
LATIN SMALL LETTER U - a [u]
LATIN SMALL LETTER REVERSED R WITH FISHHOOK - American "t" of "router"
SPACE - I used it to end the syllable, similar to how Wells uses it
MODIFIER LETTER SMALL SCHWA - meaning some speakers insert a schwa here
LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED R - another bunched American r
COMBINING VERTICAL LINE BELOW - which is syllabic

  . The "IPA" used above ain't your nana's brew - it's more
  like a souped-up Wells model with some Canepari flair and my
  own secret sauce thrown in. But hey, that "half-long" symbol?
  That's straight-up textbook IPA, no bells and whistles!

  PS: I ran a Python script to spit out the Unicode names from the IPA
  string. The script was cooked up by a chatbot after I hit it with a
  quick description of what I needed. Took me like a hot second to type
  the description, way less time than if I'd written the script myself!

import unicodedata

def print_unicode_names( input_string ):
    for char in input_string:
        unicode_name = unicodedata.name( char, "Unknown" )
        print( unicode_name )

sample_string = "INSERT IPA HERE"
print_unicode_names( sample_string )
