Howdy,
Use a font that has those characters defined; the default font used with fontspec is Latin Modern which doesn't have those defined.
%%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine} %<-------- added
\begin{document}
\emph{oma} eerder als een ‘korte a’ /ɑ/ uitgesprok
alfabet bestaan daar reets tekens voor: ŋ, x, œ.
verschillen: in Haarlem zou dat eerder ŋ, χ en œy
\end{document}
Good Luck,
