Description

The character U+0064, commonly referred to as 'D', is a fundamental part of digital text, serving as one of the 26 basic letters in the Modern English alphabet. Beyond English, it is also employed in various languages that utilize the Latin script, including Spanish, French, German, and Italian. This character's widespread usage across diverse linguistic contexts underscores its significance. In typography, the lowercase 'd' is often distinguished from its uppercase counterpart 'D'. Notable stylistic variations can be found in typefaces such as sans-serif, serif, script, and decorative styles, each with its unique contributions to digital text readability and communication. In the context of Unicode, U+0064 is classified under the Basic Latin Unicode block, a crucial component that forms the basis for many other Unicode blocks. Encompassing characters from U+0000 to U+007F, this range includes essential characters and special symbols that are critical in programming languages, text documents, and various applications. The historical roots of the Basic Latin Unicode block can be traced back to the ASCII character set; however, it has since evolved to accommodate modern needs, remaining an integral part of digital communication across cultures and devices.

How to type the d symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 0100 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character d has the Unicode code point U+0064. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 1 byte because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0000 to 0x007f.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 7 bits within the final 8 bits and that it will have the format: 0xxxxxxx
    Where the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0064 to binary: 01100100. Those are the payload bits.

  3. Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:

    Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
