Hi, and you are sure that this is a bug ? \[DifferentialD] is an operator for the total differential and has a build-in meaning while \[CapitalDifferentialD] has no build in meaning and AFIK the only use of this character is in a Feynman path integral to denote "differential like" integration variable over the path. Since Mathematica can't do path integrals (jet) it is an ordianry letter like \[Alpha], ... and can combined with other unicode letters.
