Description

U+1D05, also known as LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL D, is a character in the Unicode standard that represents a capital letter of the Latin alphabet. It is used in digital text to represent a small capital version of the letter 'D'. This letter's usage primarily serves typographic or design purposes, as it appears visually different from the standard uppercase and lowercase letters, often being more rounded and less angular. While not widely used in everyday language, U+1D05 can be found in certain specialized contexts, such as branding, logos, or typographical designs where a distinctive, small-capital style is desired.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7429 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1D05. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
    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+1D05 to binary: 00011101 00000101. 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:
    11100001 10110100 10000101
