U+0132 "IJ" Latin Capital Ligature Ij is a typographic ligature that combines the letters I and J into a single graphical unit, primarily used in Dutch orthography to represent the digraph "IJ." This character is considered a distinct letter in Dutch, often appearing in words like "ijs" (ice) and proper nouns such as "IJmuiden," and it holds a unique position in Dutch alphabetization and cultural context, though its usage has declined in modern digital text in favor of the separate letters "I" and "J."
