"д" does change shape like that in italic. There are more such glyphs, like "т"
which turns into an "m"-like shape. You get a similar effect with Latin "a" in
many italic fonts. Italic styles try to reflect hand-written letters a bit, so
that's why they change.

You don't see that change in Sans because that doesn't have an italic style,
only an "oblique" one (i.e. only slanted).

(And to my knowledge there's also no italic/oblique variant of Arial Unicode MS
 -- the one you see is just generated by your font renderer -- so no chance of
different shapes there anyway)
