I got some news from the author of this notation,
he tells me the b- and d- (bar across the lower part of the vertical stroke) are
glyphic variant to the implosives « ɓ» U+0253 and « ɗ » U+0257.
The forms with bars where chosen for pragmatic reasons, they can easily be typed
« b » and « d », if
necessary. A few books have been printed using the
notation.
