Hm. Here's my guess...
If and only if your language distinguishes some kind of glottalisation from
ejectiveness, you could use the "glottalic" diacritic, U+02C0. I'm not in
"Unicode Mode" right now, since it seems to cause problems for so many of
you, but the glyph looks like a superscript "glottal stop" sign. In typeset
text, I suppose you could actually use a superscript glottal stop.
If you don't need to distinguish glottalisation from ejectiveness, I'd use
the ordinary "curly apostrophe" character normally used for ejectives, one
of U+02BC or U+2019 (or U+0027 in a pinch), depending on whether you feel
your readers are more likely to have one or the other in their usual
font(s).
