Unicode characters of unknown language

Question

I'm trying to have the following two characters correctly displayed in the PDF output:

According to http://unicode-table.com/, these two characters belong to the Latin Extended-B category, and are used in Slovenian and Croatian.

Here's my minimal non-working example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[latin,slovene,croatian,english]{babel}

\begin{document}

Display \foreignlanguage{latin}{ʠ}

Display \foreignlanguage{latin}{Ǽ}

\end{document}

the second one is easy, just \'{\AE} but the first might be harder to find a font for — David Carlisle, Mar 28 '16 at 22:47
Thanks @David, I realize the second one can be done relatively easily. But I need them both in the document. — Herr K., Mar 28 '16 at 22:49
ʠ belongs to the “IPA extensions” block; Ǽ belongs to the “Latin Extended B” block. Neither is used in Slovenian or Croatian. According to Wikipedia, the character ʠ was withdrawn from IPA in 1993. — egreg, Mar 29 '16 at 08:04

With the help of http://detexify.kirelabs.org I found the first letter.

The 2nd is already found by David.

Code example:

\documentclass[]{standalone} 
\usepackage{ tipa }
\begin{document}
\texthtq
'{\AE}
\end{document}

The letters itself don't work, but maybe you find a solution in Entering Unicode characters in LaTeX

You also find them in erewhon (an extension of Adobe Utopia) and ebgaramond, in opentype format – Bernard Mar 28 '16 at 23:24
another source for fonts with extensive complements of letters from latin-based alphabets and phonetics is sil international. i don't know about the status of (la)tex support, but am pretty sure that it must exist. – barbara beeton Mar 29 '16 at 00:28

If you compile with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, you can put the Unicode symbols directly in your .tex file. You just have to load a system font that has the symbols you want. You can check http://www.fileformat.info for a list of some fonts that include ʠ and a list of some fonts that include Ǽ.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\setsansfont{Calibri}

\begin{document}
ʠ Ǽ \sffamily ʠ Ǽ
\end{document}
