I'm curious as to how I would phonemicize my pronunciation of "gonna". I pronounce it [go@n@] with the [o@] vowel that doesn't occur in other words.
"gonna"
<<That seems almost like "goin' a" rather than "gonna".>>
Not really. I would pronounce "goin' a" as [goU.In.@] "three syllables" whereas I pronounce "gonna" as [go@n.@] "two syllables". How I pronounce "gonna" and how I would pronounce "goin' a" sound quite distinct.

I myself have ["gV~4~@:], ["g@~4~@:], ["gV~:@_^], or ["g@~:] for "gonna", which seems to actually imply underlying /"g@nt@/; If I had /"g@n@/ for "gonna" I would actually have ["gV~:n@:], ["g@~:n@:], ["gV~::@_^], or ["g@~::].

What about "Santa"? Do you similarly have ["s{~4~@], ["s{~::@_^] and ["s{~:].

I normally have ["sE~_^{~4~@:] or ["sE~4~@:] for "Santa", but in everyday speech I will often have ["sE~_^{~:@_^] or ["sE~:@_^]. I don't have ["sE~_^{~:] or ["sE~:] at all, though; such forms were due to the assimilation of the first vowel to the second vowel in "gonna".

What about "carded" and "quarter"? Do you have [ka:r\Id] and [kOr\3`] for those?

I have a different rhotic sound [R], more specially [R_o], than that which you mark there, but yes, I will very often have ["k_hA:R1:d_0] for "carded" and either ["k_hORR=:] or ["k_hwORR=:] for "quarter", in addition to the more careful forms ["k_hA:R41:d_0] for "carded" and ["k_hOR4_0R=:] or ["k_hwOR4_0R=:] for "quarter".
