Unicode Version 17.0
Ď
U+010E "Ď" Latin Capital Letter D with Caron is a grapheme used primarily in the Czech and Slovak alphabets, where it represents a voiced palatal plosive sound similar to the English "dy" in "duke." It is formed by combining a standard Latin capital letter D with a caron diacritic, a small wedge-shaped mark placed above the character. This letter appears in words like "Ďábel" meaning devil in Czech and is an essential part of the orthography for these languages, distinguishing meaning and pronunciation from its unmarked counterpart.
