Unicode Version 17.0
т
U+0442 "т" Cyrillic Small Letter Te is a lowercase letter used in the Cyrillic script, representing the voiceless alveolar plosive sound like the English "t" in "top". It corresponds to the uppercase form "Т" and is widely used in alphabets for languages such as Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Serbian, among others. The character derives from the Greek letter tau, and its shape resembles a lowercase Latin "m" without the rightmost vertical stroke in many typefaces. In Unicode, it is part of the Cyrillic block and is distinct from the Latin letter "t" to ensure proper text encoding and display across digital platforms.
