The db ligature, ȸ, is a typographic ligature of Latin d and b , and is used in Africanist linguistics for the transcription of certain African languages to represent [b̪ ], for example in the Zulu sequence [ɱȸv]. ȸ was added to Unicode 4.1 in 2005, as U+0238 LATIN SMALL LETTER DB DIGRAPH. As of 2010[update] , only a handful of fonts can display the character. These include Charis SIL, Code2000, Doulos SIL, Ubuntu, and DejaVu fonts.
