Regarding the superscript q, in some rare cases, it is used to indicate
pharyngealization or a pharyngeal consonant instead of the Latin letter
pharyngeal voiced fricative U+0295 ʕ, the modifier letter reversed glottal
stop U+02C1 ˁ or the modifier letter small reversed glottal stop U+02E4 ˤ.
Menán du Plessis uses a modifier letter small q after a vowel in ǀXam to
indicate pharyngealization of that vowel in a few papers (Notes on Qings
own languages

of the Specimens of Bushman Folklore

).
A superscript q is also used in the name of the Mquqᵂin/Brooks Peninsula
Provincial Park by the Ministry of Environment of British Columbia on the
dedicated page on its website
<http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/brooks_peninsula/> and by
the Minister of the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada,
British Columbia Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, and
the Maa-nulth First Nations in Maa-nulth First Nations Final Agreement

and 2012-2013

.
Given the references on the Nuu-Chah-Nulth orthography that are online, it
seems the superscript q is used instead of the standard orthography’s Latin
letter pharyngeal voiced fricative U+0295 ʕ in the transcription Mquqᵂin.
