Ḑ
Ḑ (minuscule ḑ) or D-cedilla is a letter of the Latin alphabet, consisting of the letter "D" with a cedilla under it. The letter stands for the voiced palatal plosive in the Livonian alphabet. Before a 1904 spelling reform, the letter was also used in Romanian for the voiced alveolar fricative in Latin-derived words where Latin had used ⟨ d⟩ — the reform replaced this with a simple ⟨ z⟩; ''see Obsolete letters of the Romanian alphabet''. The cedilla traditionally looks like a comma below in Livonian use. In other use, like UNGEGN romanizations, the cedilla is like a regular cedilla.
