U+1E6A "Ṫ" Latin Capital Letter T with Dot Above Unicode Character
U+1E6A "Ṫ" Latin Capital Letter T with Dot Above is a precomposed letter used primarily in transcription systems and certain orthographies to represent a voiceless dental or alveolar plosive with specific phonetic qualities, such as an aspirated or emphatic pronunciation. It appears in transliterations of languages like Arabic, where it often corresponds to the letter ṭāʾ, and in some African languages using the Latin alphabet. The dot above the T distinguishes this character from a plain T and from other modified T forms, and it is encoded in the Latin Extended Additional block to support scholarly and linguistic texts. For correct display, the character requires a font that includes this diacritic combination, as it may not render properly in all environments.
