There is an excellent guide to both usual and unusual characters here: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf There are at least two ways mentioned there. The imperfect differential is found, for example, in the African Languages section. You will find it as \B{d} in Table 6, page 8, African Languages. It requires T4 font encoding, provided by the fc package. It is also found as \textcrd a part of tipa Phonetic symbols, Table 10, page 9, first column. It says you should look for the "tipa" documentation. The question is old, but I hope this will be useful for any other person.
