The Semitic letter Dāleth may have developed from the logogram for a fish or a door.[2] In that location are many different Egyptian hieroglyphs that might have inspired this. In Semitic, Aboriginal Greek and Latin, the letter of the alphabet represented /d/; in the Etruscan alphabet the letter was superfluous but still retained (see letter B). The equivalent Greek letter is Delta, Δ.

Architecture

The minuscule (lower-case) grade of 'd' consists of a lower-story left bowl and a stem ascender. Information technology developed past gradual variations on the capital letter (uppercase) course 'D', composed of a stem with a full lobe to the right. In handwriting, it was mutual to start the arc to the left of the vertical stroke, resulting in a serif at the top of the arc. This serif was extended while the rest of the letter of the alphabet was reduced, resulting in an angled stroke and loop. The angled stroke slowly developed into a vertical stroke.

Utilize in writing systems

In most languages that use the Latin alphabet, and in the International Phonetic Alphabet, ⟨d⟩ generally represents the voiced alveolar or voiced dental plosive /d/. However, in the Vietnamese alphabet, it represents the sound /z/ in northern dialects or /j/ in southern dialects. (See D with stroke and Dz (digraph).) In Fijian it represents a prenasalized stop /nd/.[3] In some languages where voiceless unaspirated stops contrast with voiceless aspirated stops, ⟨d⟩ represents an unaspirated /t/, while ⟨t⟩ represents an aspirated /tʰ/. Examples of such languages include Icelandic, Scottish Gaelic, Navajo and the Pinyin transliteration of Mandarin.

Other uses

  • The Roman numeral D represents the number 500.[iv]
  • D is the grade below C but to a higher place East in the school grading system.
  • D is the International vehicle registration code for Germany (see besides .de).
  • In Cantonese: Because the lack of Unicode CJK back up in the early on computer system, many Hong Kongers and Singaporeans used the capitalized D to stand for (lit. a piffling).
  • d. is the standard abbreviation for the Penny (British pre-decimal coin) (from Latin: denarius)
