The warning is probably from something else.

You can try to undeclare \d{n}. If it doesn't help you will have to
build your accent with the help of OT1 encoding.



\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Calibri} % insert your font here
\UndeclareUTFcomposite[\UTFencname]{x1E47}{\d}{n}

\newcommand\mydaccent[1]{%
 {\fontencoding{OT1}\selectfont
   \d{\fontencoding{EU1}\selectfont #1}}}
\begin{document}
\d{A}, \d{n}

\mydaccent{n}, \mydaccent{A}
\end{document}
