In ConTeXt MKIV this works out-of-the-box with a font that supports Cyrillic.

\setupbodyfont[computer-modern-unicode]

\starttext

Ɵ , Ƣ , Ə , ʐ , Қ and Ң

\stoptext

enter image description here


The same is possible with LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX with slightly more boilerplate.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{CMU Serif}

\begin{document}

Ɵ , Ƣ , Ə , ʐ , Қ and Ң

\end{document}

The output is similar.

According to Unicode, the letters you have are

  1. Ɵ U+019F LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH MIDDLE TILDE
  2. Ƣ U+01A2 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER OI
  3. Ə U+018F LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SCHWA
  4. ʐ U+0290 LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH RETROFLEX HOOK
  5. Қ U+049A CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER KA WITH DESCENDER
  6. Ң U+04A2 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER EN WITH DESCENDER

Assuming you are using pdflatex, I know of no font providing U+01A2. According to Wikipedia the letter was used by the Latin orthography of some Turkic languages, but currently other letters are used.

If you are interested in the Cyrillic script, I guess that the first letter should be a Fita

Ѳ U+0472 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER FITA

The third letter should be

Ә U+04D8 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER SCHWA

The fourth letter might be

ӡ U+04E1 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER ABKHASIAN DZE

The Fita, Schwa, Ka with descender and En with descender are provided by encodings T2A, T2B and T2C; the Dze is in encodings T2B and T2C.

See Cyrillic in (La)TeX for more information about how to enable using the letters.

In LuaLaTeX, while I had no problems with other Azeri letters, I stucked with a capital schwa - Ə. I decided to cheat a bit, using some command for small ə, like

\newcommand\Ə{{\LARGE ə}}

and redefining all Ə's by
