Best Answer

Lowercase "d" in the word "deaf" represents people who cannot hear without assisted hearing devices or cochlear implants. However, uppercase "D" refers to the Deaf culture. So, you could say, "I'm deaf, but I'm not Deaf," which would mean that you can't hear, but you still associate mainly with the hearing population. You're audiologically deaf, but not culturally Deaf. This is mainly for people such as Late-Deafened Adults who grew up hearing and then lost their hearing as an adult. Many if not most choose to remain in the hearing culture.

What is upper case?

Upper case is the opposite of lowercase. As you can see the text I'm writing, some of the letters look larger than the others, this is because I'm appropriately switching to uppercase. Here's an example of uppercase: 'HELLO MY NAME IS JOHN' Here's an example of lowercase: 'hello my name is john'


What is the uppercase character?

A is an uppercase character... Unless you mean to look for an "uppercase 1." In that case, there is no actual uppercase 1 or lowercase 1. 1 is just 1. If you want to switch it up though, you could use "I" (the Roman Numeral for 1) or its lowercase equivalent "i."

Why is a capital D one way and small d the other way when written?

The capital letter D is written this way "D" and the lowercase letter d is written as "d" due to historical evolution and convention in the Latin alphabet. The uppercase form of D is derived from the Greek letter Delta (Ξ”), while the lowercase form is a simplified modification of the uppercase form. Over time, these letter forms became standard in Western writing.
