[3] The minuscule (lower-case) form of 'd' consists of a lower-story left bowl and a stem ascender.

It most likely developed by gradual variations on the majuscule (capital) form 'D', and is now composed as a stem with a full lobe to the right.

This serif was extended while the rest of the letter was reduced, resulting in an angled stroke and loop.

Examples of such languages include Icelandic, Scottish Gaelic, Navajo and the pinyin transliteration of Mandarin.

In British Sign Language (BSL), the letter 'd' is indicated by signing with the right hand held with the index and thumb extended and slightly curved, and the tip of the thumb and finger held against the extended index of the left hand.
