"awe" phoneme has disappeared

[Tom Zurinskas]

It finally happened.  The phoneme "awe" (backward c in IPA) has disappeared from US English tutorials.

The same phonetic symbol is given for "pot" "walk" and "clock" where each take the "ah" ~aa sound.  There is no symbol for the "awe" ~au sound.  bye bye.
 
Please help save the "awe" phoneme, before it's too late.
