Georgian Letter Don

დ is the Georgian d, called don or doni. It represents the d sound in Mkhedruli, the script used for everyday Georgian writing, and is not an emoji. In Georgian notation that uses letters as numbers, it can also mean four.

What დ means

It spells the d sound in Georgian words. Doni is a letter name; its numerical value applies when letters serve as numbers.

Its history belongs to the Georgian alphabet. The earliest securely documented surviving Georgian writing dates to the 5th century, in the older Asomtavruli script, including church texts in Palestine. An inscription at Bolnisi Sioni church in Georgia dates to 493/494.

Which Georgian don form is modern?

Use დ for everyday Georgian writing. Asomtavruli came first; Nuskhuri developed from it, and Mkhedruli grew from Nuskhuri. The historical and display counterparts are separate characters, not font errors or interchangeable decorations.

Questions people ask

Why does დ show as a box?

Usually, the font cannot display Georgian. Switch to a font supporting Georgian letters; changing the keyboard alone will not fix missing font support.
