KEYBOARD METHODS
How to type d with accent
Use Character Map or Unicode
ď has no dependable legacy Alt sequence across ordinary Windows configurations. Copy it, use Character Map, enable a language keyboard, or enter its Unicode value in Microsoft Word.
Use the numeric keypad for listed Alt codes, not the number row. A listed code may depend on Windows and the active character set.
Use an accent key or menu
The standard US or ABC accent menu may not offer every D form. Use Character Viewer, add a Czech or Slovak input source for ď, or copy the required character from this page.
Shortcuts described here assume the US or ABC input layout. Another selected layout can assign different keys.
Hold the base letter
Touch and hold D on the on-screen keyboard. Keep your finger down, slide to the character you need, and release. Switch to uppercase before holding the key for a capital letter.
The available characters depend on your keyboard and enabled languages. Add a relevant language keyboard if the required form does not appear.
Convert a code or use dead keys
In Microsoft Word for Windows, type a hexadecimal value without U+, then press Alt + X. For example, type 010F and convert it to ď. Select only the code before converting if another letter or number comes immediately before it.
Czech and Slovak layouts provide a practical way to enter ď repeatedly. In Microsoft Word, type the hexadecimal Unicode value shown in the table and press Alt+X.

MEANING & SPELLING
Using d with accent correctly
Czech and Slovak use ď as an alphabet letter. D with dot below is widely encountered in transliteration of Indic scripts, while D with line below and other marked forms serve more specialized writing systems.
This page includes D with diacritical marks. Đ and đ have a stroke through the letter, so they are modified D letters rather than D with an accent and are outside the main copy set.
The lowercase caron on ď is often drawn like a small apostrophe beside the letter rather than a full wedge above it. That is a normal glyph design, not a different character.
Ď and Đ are different letters
Ď has a caron and is encoded as U+010E. Đ has a stroke and is encoded as U+0110. Their shapes, language uses, and code points differ, so do not substitute one for the other.

What is the most common D with an accent?
Ď and ď are prominent accented D forms because they are used in Czech and Slovak. Other forms are common mainly in particular orthographies or transliteration.

Fonts commonly use a compact apostrophe-like shape beside lowercase ď. It represents the caron and remains part of the same character.
How do I type ď in Microsoft Word?
Type 010F and press Alt+X for ď. Type 010E and press Alt+X for uppercase Ď.
