U0064

U+0064 is the Unicode code point assigned to the Latin small letter d. It is part of the Basic Latin block, which corresponds to the characters in the ASCII standard.

In Unicode terms, the character has the general category Ll (Letter, lowercase) and the official name LATIN SMALL LETTER D. Its uppercase counterpart is LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D, encoded at U+0044.

Encoding details: In UTF-8, U+0064 is encoded as a single byte 0x64, identical to the ASCII value for the character 'd'. In UTF-16 it is 0x0064, and in UTF-32 it is 0x00000064.

Usage: The code point represents the lowercase Latin letter d used across many languages that use the Latin script. It typically represents the alveolar stop phoneme [d] in phonetic transcription and orthography of languages such as English, Spanish, French, and many others.

History and standardization: U+0064 was part of the initial Unicode repertoire when Unicode 1.0 was released in 1991, as part of the ASCII-compatible Basic Latin block. Its consistent encoding across UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 makes it interoperable in virtually all text systems that support Unicode.
