The letter stands for the voiced palatal plosive [ɟ] in the Livonian alphabet.
Before a 1904 spelling reform, the letter was also used in Romanian for the voiced alveolar fricative [z] in Latin-derived words where Latin had used ⟨d⟩ — the reform replaced this with a simple ⟨z⟩; see Obsolete letters of the Romanian alphabet.
Depending on certain fonts, the cedilla traditionally looks like a comma below in Livonian use.
D-cedilla is listed as an allograph of D-comma (D̦d̦) in Ithkuil.
