Ð (lowercase:
d,
Latin alphabet), known as
crossed D or
dyet, formed from base character
D/d overlaid with a
crossbar. Crossing was used to create
eth (ð), but eth has an
uncial as its base whereas
d is based on the straight-backed roman
d. Crossed
d is a letter in the alphabets of several languages and is used in
linguistics as a
phonetic symbol.
