Ƭ
U+01AC "Ƭ" Latin Capital Letter T with Hook is a typographic variant of the standard Latin letter T, distinguished by a small hook or tail that extends from the lower right side of the vertical stem. This character is primarily used in certain African languages, such as in the orthography of languages like Ewe or some dialects of the Niger-Congo family, where it represents a specific phonetic sound, often a voiceless alveolar implosive or a modified dental stop. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent digital representation for linguistic texts and scholarly works that require precise notation of such sounds.
