, ᶑ (d with hook and tail) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, used in phonetic transcription to represent a voiced retroflex implosive pronounced as /link/, though it is not explicitly part of the International Phonetic Alphabet.[1] It is formed from d with the addition of a hook to mark it as implosive, and a tail to mark it as retroflex. It is thus a fusion of (ɗ ) and (ɖ ).
(ᶑ ) was added to Unicode with version 4.1 in 2005, but very few fonts display it.There is no standard Unicode encoding for the capital form. However, SIL fonts such as Gentium Plus, Doulos SIL and Charis SIL have U+F20D
in their private-use areas as the capital form of (ᶑ ). Alternatively, combining characters can also represent the uppercase ᶑ (like Ɗ̢).
