De with breve (Д̆ д̆; italics: Д̆ д̆) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic De (Д д) by adding a breve.
De with breve is used in the Aleut language (Bering dialect),[1] where it represents the voiced dental fricative /ð/, like the pronunciation of ⟨th⟩ in English “they” /ðeɪ/. For example, ‘ад̆аӽ’ /aðɑχ/ – father, ‘чӣд̆аӽ’ /ˈtʃiːðaχ/ – baby bird.
