Ď

The grapheme Ď (minuscule: ď) is a letter in the Czech and Slovak alphabets used to denote, the voiced palatal plosive (precisely alveolo-palatal), a sound similar to British English d in dew. It was also used in Polabian. The majuscule of the letter (Ď) is formed from Latin D with the addition of a háček; the minuscule of the letter (ď) has a háček modified to an apostrophe-like stroke instead of a wedge. When collating, Ď is placed right after regular D in the alphabet.

Ď is also used to represent uppercase eth in the coat of arms of Shetland although the standard uppercase form of eth is Ð.

As recorded by the Unicode Consortium, the form of the minuscule letter preferred for typesetting is "d with a curved apostrophe" (rather than "d with a caron diacritic").
