As Carsten says, you need to look at them in Doulos SIL.  Only the
first two are even actual Unicode characters - the others are in the
Private Use Area.

According to Unicode, the first two are

ʆ   U+0286 LATIN SMALL LETTER ESH WITH CURL (palatalized voiceless postalveolar fricative)
ʠ   U+02A0 LATIN SMALL LETTER Q WITH HOOK (voiceless uvular implosive)

which seem simple enough.

SIL's names for the others are available here:

I'm not sure why Carsten has picked out this particular set of
characters.
