U+A68B "ꚋ" Cyrillic Small Letter Te with Middle Hook Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A68B "ꚋ" Cyrillic Small Letter Te with Middle Hook is a historical or dialectal letter used in certain Old Cyrillic or extended Cyrillic orthographies, typically representing a palatalized or specially modified "t" sound distinct from the standard Cyrillic Te. Its visual form consists of a standard Cyrillic small letter te with a small hook attached to the middle of its left stem, and it belongs to the Cyrillic Extended B block, a range that includes various letters for non‑Slavic languages and historical scripts. This character is rarely seen in modern everyday text, but it is important for scholars of early Cyrillic manuscripts and for accurately encoding certain minority languages that require a dedicated letter for this phonetic nuance.
