(I'm far from an IPA expert, but...)

There seems to be a logic to the name (and thus to how the glyph
SHOULD look) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_palatal_implosive]:

| Voiced palatal implosive
|
| ...dotless lowercase letter j with a horizontal stroke (the symbol
| for the voiced palatal plosive) and a rightward hook (the diacritic
| for implosives)...

So I would conclude that an esh-like or turned f-like glyph would just
be approximants, and not the intended glyph for any font. So please
make Latin small letter dotless j with stroke and hook look according
to its name (and definitely not with two strokes, misinterpreting the
serif on the j-part as a stroke, which I see in some fonts).
