Latin Capital Letter D With Caron Letter Meaning
Ď is an uppercase Latin letter formed by adding a caron (ˇ) to the letter D. In practice, this distinguishes it from plain “D” and “Đ” and is required for correct spelling in certain orthographies that treat the caron as part of the letter’s identity. You’ll typically see Ď in proper names and words where the character corresponds to a specific sound or grammatical distinction in that language. Because it is a distinct Unicode character (U+010E), it’s important to use Ď directly rather than approximating it with plain D plus a separate mark.
