U+1E6E "Ṯ" Latin Capital Letter T with Line Below Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ṯ
U+1E6E "Ṯ" Latin Capital Letter T with Line Below is a specialized glyph used primarily in the transliteration of Semitic languages, such as Arabic and Ge'ez, to represent the emphatic or pharyngealized voiceless dental plosive sound, often corresponding to the Arabic letter "ط" (Tāʼ). This character combines a standard uppercase T with a small horizontal line beneath it, a diacritic mark that signals its distinct phonetic value in academic and linguistic contexts. While rarely seen in everyday English text, it appears in scholarly works, dictionaries, and digital transcriptions where precise representation of ancient or non-Latin scripts is necessary, ensuring accurate communication of original pronunciations.
