U+1E97 "ẗ" Latin Small Letter T with Diaeresis Unicode Character
U+1E97 "ẗ" Latin Small Letter T with Diaeresis is a specialized letter used primarily in the transliteration of certain Semitic languages, such as Arabic, where it represents an emphatic or pharyngealized "t" sound, often corresponding to the Arabic letter ط. It is also employed in linguistic notation for various phonetic or orthographic systems that require a diaeresis to indicate a modified pronunciation, such as in some romanization schemes for Indic languages. The character itself consists of a standard lowercase Latin "t" combined with a diaeresis diacritic placed above it, and it belongs to the Latin Extended Additional block in Unicode, making it available for digital text representation in contexts where precise transliteration is necessary.
