U+010F "ď" Latin Small Letter D with Caron Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ď
U+010F "ď" Latin Small Letter D with Caron is a modified Latin letter used primarily in the Czech and Slovak alphabets, where it represents a palatalized d sound, similar to the dy in the English word "during." This character is formed by adding a caron, or háček, above the base letter d, and it is the lowercase counterpart of U+010E "Ď." In practice, the caron distinguishes this letter from the standard d, marking a distinct phoneme that is essential for correct pronunciation and spelling in these languages. The character also appears in some other orthographies, such as the Romanization of certain Slavic languages, and is supported in most modern text encodings and fonts.
