Doni, or Don (Asomtavruli: Ⴃ; Nuskhuri: ⴃ; Mkhedruli: დ or ; Mtavruli: Დ; Georgian: დონი, დონ) is the 4th letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 4.[2] Doni commonly represents the voiced dental plosive /d̪/,[3] roughly like the pronunciation of ⟨d⟩ in "dome". It is typically romanized with the letter D.[4]
