Ḍ (minuscule: ḍ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from D with the addition of a dot diacritic.
In the transcription of Afro-asiatic languages such as Arabic, ḍ represents an "emphatic" voiced dental stop (IPA: /dˤ/).
In the transcription of Indic languages, and in the orthography of the O'odham language, ḍ represents a voiced retroflex stop (IPA: /ɖ/). This was used in a former transcription of Javanese, but has been replaced by "dh."
