Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2145 "ⅅ" Double-Struck Italic Capital D is a typographic variant of the capital letter D, rendered in a double-struck (or blackboard bold) style with an italic slant, and it is primarily used in mathematical and scientific notation to denote the set of real numbers when combined with a special double-struck R or, more specifically, to represent the differential operator in calculus contexts where a formal distinction from the ordinary letter d is desired. This character is part of the Letterlike Symbols block within Unicode, and its design mimics the bold chalkboard script often found in textbook equations.
