The fourth letter of the latin alphabet. The Semitic letter Dâlet probably developed from the logogram for a fish or a door. In Semitic, Ancient Greek (Modern Greek /ð/) and Latin the letter was pronounced /d/, in the Etruscan alphabet the letter was superfluous but still maintained (see letter B). Greek letter: Δ (capital) or δ (small) (Delta).
In Cantonese, the sound /d/ means a little bit. Since it corresponds to no traditional Chinese character, residents of Hong Kong invented a new character 啲 (which isn't supported in many Chinese systems) or simply write D instead.
In context, D is also:
- The symbol of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen.
- A musical note
- The Roman numeral for 500
- The stock symbol for Dominion Resources Inc. VA[?]
- A standard size dry cell battery.
- a programming language; see D programming language.
