U+0162 "Ţ" Latin Capital Letter T with Cedilla Unicode Character

U+0162 "Ţ" Latin Capital Letter T with Cedilla is a grapheme used primarily in the writing systems of several languages, including Romanian and Gagauz, where it represents a voiceless alveolar affricate sound similar to the "ts" in "cats". The cedilla diacritic, a small hook placed beneath the letter T, indicates this specific pronunciation and distinguishes it from the standard T. In historical Romanian orthography, it was used in place of the modern letter Ț, though modern digital fonts and encoding standards still support U+0162 for compatibility with legacy texts and specific linguistic datasets. The character's appearance can vary depending on the typeface, but it normally looks like a capital T with a small cedilla attached to the lower stem.
