How to Write a Cursive Capital D

Cursive capital D begins with a downstroke that forms a small flat loop on the baseline. From there a large curve swings up to the right and around to the top, closing the letter, often with a little loop where the strokes meet.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive d

Lowercase cursive d starts like an a: an upstroke and a small counterclockwise oval. Instead of stopping at the middle line, the stem climbs to the top line, retraces straight down, and finishes with an exit stroke.

Common Mistakes with Cursive D

If the stem of d is too short it looks like an a, and if the oval does not touch the stem it looks like cl. The stem should reach the top line, as tall as the loop in l or b.

Cursive D in Unicode

Every variant of cursive D on this page comes from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block (U+1D400–U+1D7FF), added in Unicode 3.1 in 2001. Script D has no gap in that block, so capital and lowercase come from the same set and match in style.

In analysis, 𝒟 is the standard name for the space of test functions used to define distributions.
