This "ɔ́" is a Unicode compound character, consisting of a base character
("ɔ") followed by a combining accent (" ́").

The bad news is that plenty of software is a little spotty about handling such
characters cleanly. In this case, that means the browsers and the fonts.

Pasting "ɔ́" into Firefox 3 on my Mac seems to work fine. If it's not
functioning in other current browsers, bug reports should be filed in the
appropriate locations so it can be fixed for future versions. I'm not sure
there's much else to be done on our end... working with the characters relies
on them actually being supported by the browsers!
