Issue

A friend of mine, who is a Mazahua native, states that the design of the slash in ⱥ (U+2C65) and ɇ (U+0247) is not desirable.
The Mazahua language also uses ꞹ (U+A7B9). In Noto, the slash for ꞹ (U+A7B9) is adjusted and very easy to distinguish.
Please refer to the following screenshot, comparing each length of slashes.

It is hoped that the length of slash for ⱥ (U+2C65) and ɇ (U+0247) could be the same as the length of the slash for ø (U+00F8) and ꞹ (U+A7B9)

Character data

U+2C65　ⱥ
U+0247　ɇ

These letters need to be designed as a single set. I can see that ⟨ȺⱥɆɇ⟩ have their slash at one angle, ⟨Øø⟩ has it at another angle and ⟨Ꞹꞹ⟩ at yet another one.

@KazunariTsuboi this should be quick fix. Any concern about the capital letters slashes slanting? Looks to me they need to be consistent. @marekjez86 for opinion.

@nizarsq I’m not @KazunariTsuboi so sorry for jumping in, but yes, the capital letters should also be amended to have harmonized slashes.

@nizarsq @fitojb I'm sorry for the late reply. I think too, I also need consistency.

I asked a type designer near me who is design about Mazahua fonts. He said too, "It is good that the slashes are in harmony."
