“ij” U+0133: Latin Small Ligature Ij

ℹ️ About

The Latin Small Ligature Ij (ij) is a specialized typographical unit used primarily in the Dutch language. Technically, it is a compatibility ligature that decomposes into the sequence of ‘i’ (U+0069) and ‘j’ (U+006A). While modern digital text often uses the two separate characters, this single codepoint remains vital for legacy support, specific font behaviors, and accurate Dutch orthographic representation where “ij” is treated as a single unit.
