D takes a handful of marks: D with caron (Ď ď) in Czech and Slovak, and the crossed D with stroke (Đ đ) in Croatian, Vietnamese and Sámi. The set also holds the Serbo-Croatian digraphs Dž and Dz plus some African and phonetic hook forms. Tap any character below to copy it.
01 Step by step, per platform
A real, followable procedure for every platform, not a thin restatement of the shortcut.
On Windows
- For any other form, press Win + . to open the emoji & symbol panel, switch to the Symbols tab and search the accent name.
- Or type the code from the table below into Microsoft Word and press Alt + X, for example 010E then Alt+X gives Ď.
On Mac
- Open the Character Viewer with Control + Command + Space and search the accent name, for example the letter followed by the accent.
- To type these often, add the ABC – Extended input source in Keyboard settings and use its accent dead keys before the letter.
Microsoft Word & Google Docs
- In Word, type the four-character code then press Alt + X, for example 010E then Alt+X becomes Ď.
- Or use Insert → Symbol → More Symbols and pick the letter from the Latin subset.
- In Google Docs, use Insert → Special characters and search latin d, or draw the accent in the sketch box.
On phones (iOS & Android)
- On the on-screen keyboard, press and hold the D key. A popup of accented options appears, such as ď đ ƌ ȡ, slide to the one you want and release.
- For a form that is not on the popup, copy it from the keys above and paste it where you need it.

04 Troubleshooting & confusables
| Looks like it | But it's actually | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Đ vs Ð | D-stroke vs Eth | Đ (crossed D) is Croatian, Vietnamese and Sámi. Ð (Eth) is Icelandic and Faroese and is a different letter, they look alike but are not the same character. |
| ď vs d’ | Caron-D vs D-apostrophe | The Czech ď carries a small caron that prints like an apostrophe on tall letters; it is one character, not a d followed by a quote mark. |
| đ vs ƀ | D-stroke vs B-stroke | A stroke through the ascender is letter-specific. đ is a crossed D; ƀ is a crossed B. Copy the exact letter you need. |
05 FAQ
How do I type đ (crossed D)?
đ has no classic Windows Alt code. In Microsoft Word type 0111 then press Alt+X; on a Mac open the Character Viewer with Control+Command+Space and search "d with stroke", or copy it from the keys above.
What is the difference between Đ and Ð?
Đ is a D with a stroke, used in Croatian, Vietnamese and Northern Sámi. Ð (Eth) is a separate Icelandic and Faroese letter for a "th" sound. They are visually close but have different codepoints and uses.
What are Dz and Dž?
They are the Serbo-Croatian digraphs Dz and Dž written as single title-case characters. They exist so that names and text keep the right casing; most writers just type the two letters instead.
Which languages use ď?
The caron-D (ď) is a regular letter in Czech and Slovak, where it marks a soft "d" sound. It is typed directly on those countries' keyboard layouts.
Is there an accented D in Vietnamese?
Yes, Đ/đ (D with stroke) is a full letter of the Vietnamese alphabet and appears in words like "đồng". It is not an accent on D so much as its own letter.
