U+023E "Ⱦ" Latin Capital Letter T with Diagonal Stroke Unicode Character
U+023E "Ⱦ" Latin Capital Letter T with Diagonal Stroke is a specialized letter used primarily in the orthography of the Sencoten language, a dialect of the North Straits Salish language spoken by the Saanich people of British Columbia, Canada. In this writing system, the character represents a voiceless alveolar lateral affricate sound, which is distinct from the standard Latin T. Originally devised by linguist Dave Elliott as part of a practical alphabet for the Sencoten language, the glyph visually consists of a capital T intersected by a diagonal stroke that runs from the upper left to the lower right of the letter. This character was added to the Unicode standard in version 6.0 released in 2010, ensuring its digital representation for linguistic documentation and revitalization efforts.
