Descender
The descender is that portion of a character in a Latin language that falls below the baseline of the characters in that font.
For example, in the letter y, the descender would be the "tail," or that portion of the diagonal line which lies below the v created by the two lines converging.
In most fonts, descenders are reserved for lowercase characters like y, p and g. Some fonts, however, also use descenders for some numerals (typically 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9) and even a few uppercase letters like Q and J.
