De with Dot Below (Majuscule: Д̣, minuscule: д̣) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Used for Cyrillization of Arabic Russian linguists use д̣ to transliterate the Arabic letter ض (Ḍād). This represents an "emphatic consonant"—a deep, heavy "D" sound produced in the back of the throat. The dot underneath is used to clearly distinguish it from a regular "D" sound (د - Dal). And it is also used in The Wakhi Language Wakhi is an Indo-Iranian language spoken by ethnic groups along the borders of Central Asia (such as in Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan). In Tajikistan, the Cyrillic alphabet is used to write Wakhi, and the letter Д̣ / д̣ was adopted to represent a specific phoneme unique to their language.
To type this letter perfectly, the system behind the scenes has to input the base letter Д (Unicode U+0414) first, and then immediately follow it with a special code for the Combining Dot Below (Unicode U+0323). The operating system then visually merges them, sticking the dot under the letter to create Д̣.
