Dear teachers
Hi, I was checking the pronunciation of "popular" in Longman contemporary dictionary (the software), then I saw a different phonetic symbol why is that is it common?!. Please help me.
Thanks.

No, it's not common. I've never seen it before.

Dictionaries are not perfect. I imagine that entry will be removed, though.
