Ƌ (minuscule: ƌ) is a letter derived from the Latin alphabet.
It was used in the standard written form of the Zhuang alphabet (Zhuàngwén) from 1957 to 1982. The alphabet was reformed in 1982 to improve its usefulness by removing all characters that were not part of the English alphabet/numeral system. As part of this reform, ƌ was replaced by the digraph nd.
It represented a pre-glottalized voiced alveolar stop [ˀd].: 194, 202
