U+0166 "Ŧ" Latin Capital Letter T with Stroke Unicode Character

U+0166 "Ŧ" Latin Capital Letter T with Stroke is a modified letter used primarily in the orthographies of several Northern Sámi languages, such as North Sámi and Lule Sámi, where it represents a voiceless dental fricative sound, similar to the "th" in the English word "thin." It is also employed in some African languages, including the Saanich writing system and occasionally in phonetic transcription. The character is formed by adding a horizontal line or stroke through the vertical stem of a standard capital T, visually distinguishing it from its unmodified counterpart. This letter is encoded in the Latin Extended-A block of Unicode and is recognized as a distinct grapheme for accurate linguistic representation.
