U+0434 "д" Cyrillic Small Letter De Unicode Character

U+0434 "д" Cyrillic Small Letter De is a fundamental letter in the Cyrillic script, representing the voiced dental plosive sound /d/ in languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. Its shape derives from the Greek letter delta, though in many cursive and italic forms it resembles a smaller, more angular version of its uppercase counterpart Д. This character is used in the standard Russian alphabet as the fifth letter, and it appears in a wide range of common words, such as "дом" meaning house, and "да" meaning yes. The glyph is typically written with a small loop or bowl on the left side and a straight vertical stem on the right, distinguishing it visually from similar-looking letters in other writing systems.
