is a letter of the Latin alphabet, used in phonetic transcription to represent a voiced retroflex implosive. It is formed from d with the addition of a hooks to mark it as implosive, and a tail to mark it as retroflex. It is thus a fusion of ɗ and ɖ.

ᶑ is not an official part of the International Phonetic Alphabet.

Computer encoding

ᶑ was not added to Unicode until version 4.1 in 2005. As such, few fonts yet support it as of 2006. Those that do include Charis SIL and Doulos SIL
