Latin Capital Letter Eth Letter Meaning
Ð (Latin Capital Letter Eth) is a letter character from the Latin Extended set. It is most familiar from languages that use eth as part of their orthography, where it represents a specific sound and has a meaningful distinction from other letters. In plain text and typography, it’s often used when you need the exact uppercase eth character rather than approximations (like replacing it with D). Because it’s a specific Unicode code point, it may look different across fonts and should be handled with proper encoding when included in software, web pages, or documents.
