[[File:Latin capital letter african D with hook.svg|19x19px]], '''ᶑ''' (''d with [[Hook (diacritic)|hook]] and [[Tail (diacritic)|tail]]'') is a letter of the [[Latin alphabet]], used in [[phonetic transcription]] to represent a [[voiced retroflex implosive]] {{IPAblink|ᶑ}}, though it is not explicitly part of the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]].<ref name="compart">{{cite web|url= https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+1D91|title=Unicode Character “ᶑ” (U+1D91)|work=Compart |publisher=Compart AG | place= Oak Brook, IL|date=2021 |accessdate=2024-02-17}}</ref> It is formed from [[d]] with the addition of a [[hook (diacritic)|hook]] to mark it as [[implosive consonant|implosive]], and a [[tail (diacritic)|tail]] to mark it as [[retroflex consonant|retroflex]]. It is thus a fusion of {{angbr|[[ɗ]]&thinsp;}} and {{angbr|[[African D|ɖ]]&thinsp;}}.

There is no Unicode encoding for a capital form. However, SIL fonts such as [[Gentium]] and [[Charis SIL]] have {{PUA|{{IPA|}}}} <code>U+F20D</code> in their private-use areas as the capital form of {{angbr|ᶑ&thinsp;}}. Alternatively, combining characters can also represent the uppercase ᶑ (like Ɗ̢). There is no evidence of usage.<ref>{{Cite web |title=SIL Corporate PUA characters that have not been added to Unicode |url=https://github.com/silnrsi/unicode-resources/blob/main/sil-pua/docs/pua-nondeprecated.md |access-date=2025-06-26 |website=SIL Unicode Resources on GitHub |language=en}}</ref>
