U+10303 "𐌃" Old Italic Letter De is a glyph from the Old Italic script, used to represent the sound equivalent to the Latin letter D. This character is part of a historical writing system that was employed by various Italic peoples, including the Etruscans, before the widespread adoption of the Latin alphabet. It appears in Unicode as a scholarly reconstruction of the ancient letter, primarily intended for historical and linguistic documentation. In its original use, the letter De would have been written right to left, aligning with the early Etruscan and Italic writing direction, and its shape is a direct ancestor of the modern Latin D.
