Ḍal

Ḍal or ḍāl is a letter of the extended Arabic alphabet, derived from dāl (د) by placing a small t̤oʾe (ط; historically four dots in a square pattern)[1] 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")[1] or dāl-e-hindiyā ("Indian dal"). In Devanagari, this consonant is rendered using ‘ड’.

gollark: https://github.com/osmarks/skynet/blob/master/PROTOCOL.mdMuch simpler. Kind of. Okay, roughly the same.
gollark: Anyway, it has a simplified protocol, is rewritten in Rust for speed and reliability, is missing logs (couldn't be bothered to add them...) and is otherwise identical.
gollark: Ah, it uses skynet_CBOR_path now.
gollark: I *can* just release the new server now.
gollark: I have no idea. A given commit?
