What are the articulatory features that distinguish the vowel sounds /i/, /i:/, /ᶺ/, and /ↄ/?

The vowel sound /i/ is a high front unrounded vowel, /i:/ is a long version of /i/, /ᶺ/ is a near-close near-front unrounded vowel, and /ↄ/ is a near-open front unrounded vowel. The primary differences among these vowel sounds are tongue position, lip rounding, and vowel length.
