Ṭ
U+1E6C "Ṭ" Latin Capital Letter T with Dot Below is a specialized letter used primarily in the transliteration and orthographies of Semitic languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Amharic, as well as in certain African languages like Berber. It represents a voiceless emphatic or retroflex plosive sound, akin to a "t" pronounced with the tongue retracted or the pharynx constricted. This character is formed by combining a standard Latin capital T with a combining dot below, and it is distinct from other diacritic-based T variants, aiding in precise phonetic representation and scholarly transcription.
