The grapheme Ď (minuscule: ď) is a letter in the Czech and Slovak alphabets used to denote /ɟ/, the voiced palatal plosive, the sound similar to British English d in dew. It was also used in Polabian. It is formed from Latin D with the addition of háček, minuscule (ď) has háček modified to apostrophe-like stroke instead of wedge. In the alphabet, Ď is placed right after regular D.
Ď is also used to represent uppercase ð in the Coat of Arms of Shetland; however, the typical form is Ð.
