Ď
The Ď topic is one of the most relevant and interesting today. Its impact extends to different areas of society, from politics and economics to culture and technology. In recent years, Ď has attracted the attention of experts and scholars seeking to understand its nature and its implications in the contemporary world. In this article, we will explore the different facets and perspectives on Ď, analyzing its evolution over time and its possible consequences in the future.
The grapheme Ď (minuscule: ď) is a letter in the Czech and Slovak alphabets used to denote /ɟ/, 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.
