Also known as ARABIC LETTER DDAL, ddal, ddāl, ḍal, ḍāl
Ḍal or ḍāl is a letter of the extended Arabic alphabet, derived from dāl () by placing a small t̤oʾe (; historically four dots in a square pattern, e.g. ) on top. It is not used in the Arabic alphabet itself, but is used to represent a voiced retroflex plosive [ɖ] in Urdu, Punjabi written in the Shahmukhi script, and Kashmiri as well as Balochi. The small t̤oʾe diacritic is used to indicate a retroflex consonant in Urdu. It is the twelfth letter of the Urdu alphabet. Its Abjad value is considered to be 4. In Urdu, this letter may also be called dāl-e-musaqqalā ("heavy dal") or dāl-e-hind
