(d with hook and tail) 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.

There is no standard Unicode encoding for the capital form. However, SIL fonts such as Gentium, Doulos SIL or Charis SIL have  U+F20D in their private-use areas as the capital form of d with hook and tail.
