There are more of them in Doulos SIL which you can obtain at the SIL's page:
ʆ ʠ
This font has seemingly all the IPA letters as superscripts as well.
Maybe they're part of the American Phonetic Alphabet or how it's called?
Note that the letters above and the superscripts are in the user-defined
area.
The "Sans" font that comes with Fedora and certainly as well with Red
Hat Linux has even more obscure glyphs in. Since I haven't got Linux
available at the moment, I can't tell you which ones. There are more
such glyphs listed in the manual of TIPA for LaTeX.
