Ɑ could be better and Ɒ is wrong.

Ɑ U+2C6D has it's bottom terminal going below the baseline, it should curl like the lowercase ɑ U+0251.
U+2C70 should be based on it, and turned not mirrored as it currently is.

I've updated the first image, on one side the problematic glyph and on the other side the glyphs they should be based on.

I also have doubts about the K hook, Ƙ U+0198.
The current glyph is similar to what Arial or Times New Roman do, with the hook on top of the stem, but the standard shape has it on top of the top diagonal.

What I call the standard shape is in the Pan-Nigerian typefaces produced in the 1980s see http://people.bu.edu/manfredi/PanNigerianArchive.pdf or the Africa Reference Alphabet http://www.bisharat.net/Documents/Niamey78annex.htm
This is also the shape used in the SIL fonts.
