I am trying to put the following letter: ɖ in my latex file. I thought, I could use maybe $\textdtail$, but it doesn't work.

My preamble contains already

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}, so I tried also to add to it T4. In result, the file is compiling and not executing anything. Then, I also tried to use the tipa package, but this simply does not work (I read somewhere that the last update was there in 2004, so that should be then understandable). If anyone has a trick how to insert this one letter into my text, I would welcome any suggestions.

    Do you have a font containing these african letters on your system? – Bernard May 12 '21 at 17:37

    There are T4-encoded fonts, but only in bitmap form. Using XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX and a font containing the required glyphs would be much better. – egreg May 12 '21 at 17:39

    Seems there is an extensive answer here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/304284/adding-complex-phonetic-symbols-to-latex – David B May 12 '21 at 18:43
  • I want to add only one letter into my latex file. The indicated links are not solivng my problem. I tested it before posting the question. I don't understand why T1 and T4 do not work out together in the fontenc, which would solve my problem. None of the packages like tipa, t4phonet...help. – Jo-Achna May 12 '21 at 21:04

    I don't think you should change the encoding to T4. You are using a wrong command. \textrtaild is the correct command. Loading package tipa and using this command shall work. You can alternatively choose to use the shortcut. i.e. \textipa{\:d}. – Niranjan Oct 27 '21 at 09:06

    Also you don't need math-mode for tipa commands. Remove the dollars. – Niranjan Oct 27 '21 at 09:07

    Hello! Thank you for replying to my question. In fact, I solved the problem already a while ago, and it's almost exactly as you said. I have these packages in my LaTeX doc 
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 
\usepackage{tipa}```
And yes, it is correct what you are suggesting. I used ```\textipa{\:d}```  and it solved my problem.
