(unicode:D̦) (unicode:d̦) (D-comma) is a letter which was part of the Romanian alphabet, and used to represent the sound or where it was derived from a Latin ''d'' (e.g. ''(unicode:d̦i)'', pronounced came from Latin ''die'', day).〔Negruzzi, p. 234.〕 It was the equivalent of the Cyrillic letters З and Ѕ. This letter was first introduced by Petru Maior in his 1819 book ''Ortographia romana sive Latino-Valachica, una cum clavis, qua penetralia originationis vocum reserantur...'': "(unicode:d̦) sicut Latinorum z ac cyrillicum з".〔Vîrtosu, p. 208〕 In 1844 Ioan Eliade introduced ''(unicode:d̦)'' again in his magazine ''Curierul de ambe sexe'' as a substitute for ''з''.〔Vîrtosu, p. 223.〕 On 23 October 1858 the Eforia Instrucțiunii Publice of Wallachia issued a decree in which, among other rules, ''(unicode:d̦)'' was for the third time adopted instead of Cyrillic ''з''. However, this rule will not be fully adopted until later.〔Vîrtosu, p. 234–235.〕 Taking the matter in his hands, internal affairs minister Ion Ghica stated on 8 February 1860 that whoever in his order ignored the new transitional alphabet rules, was going to be fired.〔Vîrtosu, p. 236.〕 In Moldavia, the transitional alphabet and the letter ''(unicode:d̦)'' was adopted much later. In his grammar published in Paris in 1865, Vasile Alecsandri adopted this sign instead of ''з'', viewing the comma below ''d'' as a small ''s'' (''(unicode:d̦)'' was often pronounced , . This was also the case with —''ss'' and —''ts'').〔Vîrtosu, p. 245.〕 This letter was abandoned in 1904 and is no longer in use. Ḑ ḑ is part of the Livonian alphabet, but is written with cedilla mark (see below). ==Computer encoding== Unicode does not include precomposed characters for (unicode:D̦) (unicode:d̦)—they must be represented with a combining diacritic, which may not align properly in some fonts. Nevertheless, the sequence of base character + combining diacritic is given a unique name. Otherwise, the D-cedilla (Ḑ ḑ) is somewhat to be used as part of the unicode standards because the typographic point of view of D-cedilla is very similar that has a comma. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「D-comma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
