U+310A "ㄊ" Bopomofo Letter T Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+310A "ㄊ" Bopomofo Letter T is one of the phonetic symbols in the Bopomofo (Zhuyin Fuhao) writing system, which is used primarily in Taiwan to annotate the pronunciation of Chinese characters. This specific character represents the initial consonant sound "t" (as in the English "t" in "top") and is a key component for teaching and transcribing Mandarin phonetics. In the standard Bopomofo system, it corresponds to the Mandarin Pinyin letter "t", appearing in common syllables such as "tā" (他, meaning "he" or "she") or "tīng" (聽, meaning "to listen"). The character is visually composed of a vertical stroke with a horizontal hook at the top, reflecting its unique role in the Bopomofo inventory, which consists of 37 essential letters and five tone marks.
