Wikipedia-Article "R"
R is the eighteenth letter of the Latin alphabet. Its name in English is ar [ɑːɹ].
Semitic Rêš (the head) developed into Greek Ρ ῥῶ (Rhô) and Latin R. The Latin and Etruscan forms of the letter added an extra stroke to distinguish it from a later form of the Greek Pi.
See rhotic consonant, r-colored vowel, and guttural R for discussion of the family of 'r' sounds.
In the International Phonetic Alphabet, 'r' represents the alveolar trill sound.
Miniscule
The miniscule (lower-case) form of r developed through several variations on the capital form. In handwriting it was common not to close the bottom of the loop but continue into the leg, saving an extra pen stroke. The loop-leg stroke shortened into the simple arc used today.
Another miniscule, the r rotunda, kept the loop-leg stroke but dropped the vertical stroke. It fell out of use around the 18th century.
Alternative representations
Romeo represents the letter R in the NATO phonetic alphabet.
In international Morse code the letter R is DitDahDit: · - ·
In Braille the letter R is represented as ⠗ (in Unicode), the dot pattern:
X.
XX
X.
Computing
In Unicode the capital R is codepoint U+0052 and the lowercase r is U+0072.
The ASCII code for capital R is 82 and for lowercase r is 114; or in binary 01010010 and 01110010, correspondingly.
The EBCDIC code for capital R is 217 and for lowercase r is 153.
The numeric character references in HTML and XML are "R" and "r" for upper and lower case respectively.
