Sampa script is used for all other vocaloids, therefore, its worth noting only for the first Korean vocaloid and will be removed when we get a second (Luka has a similair situation). We only write stuff like this for the first type of a vocaloid, because it "new" to most readers, however, after the second its not new and needs to be noted more on a standard page rather then a individual page.

Also, we've been over the english situation before, sadly, we've got to adress the Korean -> English situation because SBS decided to make a deal over it and say you can create English with Korean. :-/

the third bit about the provider is actually fairly true in regards to certain vocals. Not all Vocaloids sound like their provider or are intended to be. Some are vocal performances, like Miku, which means their vocals are not like professional results. Others, are more professional singer results and tend to attempt to sound more like their providers. Vocaloid itself does NOT make the provider's vocal sound like themselves, for example, Vocaloid was noted to make a providers voice results sound deeper. Therefore, some manipulation of the results was needed to make the voice slightly higher. Vocaloid 2 and Vocaloid 3 are suppose to be better then Vocaloid and I've not read any confirmation of it going on, but if it happened with one engine version, then its likely to happen with the others to a degree. Depending on the studios efforts, this varies in results on how well they pulled that off. Therefore strictly speaking, not sounding like their provider can also not be a fault of anyone's but the vocaloid engine itself.

But yeah... Miku doesn't sound much like her provider she is actually a higher pitch then her provider normally (sometimes things are better then others), though Kagamine Len act2 is a better example of this situation at times because his provider's voice doesn't naturally go that low. The CV series were built for their vocal performance rather then a vocal singing results and their all voice actors giving singing results. The consquences is they don't sound like natural singers without manipulation of the lyrics, in contrast to most of Internet co's which ARE signers (Ryuto being the exception).

Then again, CFM are KNOWN to manipulate their samples anyway to achieve the desired results, you can find confirmation of this in Kaito's page.
