U+209C "ₜ" Latin Subscript Small Letter T Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+209C "ₜ" Latin Subscript Small Letter T is a typographic glyph used primarily in phonetic and linguistic notation, specifically as part of the International Phonetic Alphabet's superscript and subscript diacritic system to denote a raised or lowered articulation of a sound, though it is not a standard IPA symbol itself. It appears in the "Superscripts and Subscripts" block of Unicode, encoded for compatibility with legacy character sets and to support scientific transcription where a subscript t is needed, such as in certain orthographies or in phonetic detail work. Visually, it is a smaller version of the letter "t" positioned below the baseline, and it can be combined with other characters to indicate a specific phonetic feature or to represent a homorganic nasal or a tonal mark in some African languages. Its inclusion ensures that digital text can accurately reproduce specialized scholarly and linguistic material without relying on formatting tricks.
