Voiced retroflex affricate

A voiced retroflex sibilant affricate is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ɖ͡ʐ ⟩ or ⟨d̠͡ʐ ⟩, often simplified to ⟨dʐ ⟩. There is also a ligature ⟨ꭦ ⟩, which has been retired by the International Phonetic Association but is still used.

A laminal variant occurs in Polish dż, and apical variants in the Indo-Aryan languages.
