Actually [r`] is a retroflex flap, which is
one allophone of Hindi /d`/. The /r/ is
either a plain trill [r] or an approximant [r\].

The syllabic r should actually have a ring
rather than a dot below. Unfortunately even
Unicode hasn't got this straight. An r with
a dot below is the transliteration of that
allophone of /d`/ I mentioned above.
I have uploaded a transliteration table for
Devanagari to <http://www.melroch.se/devanagari.pdf>
(unlinked), with both fancy and ASCII transliterations.
The ASCII transliterations are as per
<http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stone-catend/tr7.htm>
and is sort of official.
