Unicode Version 17.0
𝼗
U+1DF17 "𝼗" Latin Small Letter Tesh Digraph with Palatal Hook is a typographic ligature representing the combined sounds of 't' and 'sh' with a palatal hook modifier, which historically appears in certain phonetic transcription systems to denote a palatalized affricate consonant. This character was added to the Unicode Standard as part of a set of historic and scholarly Latin script characters used in linguistic and phonetic notation, particularly for documenting extinct or endangered languages. Its form visually merges the shapes of 't' and 'esh' while the palatal hook beneath indicates a simultaneous raising of the tongue toward the hard palate, making it a precise tool for representing specific speech sounds in academic contexts.
