U+01AD "ƭ" Latin Small Letter T with Hook Unicode Character

U+01AD "ƭ" Latin Small Letter T with Hook is a modified letter from the Latin script, primarily used in historical or phonetic orthographies for certain African languages such as Serer and sometimes in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent a voiceless alveolar implosive stop. It consists of a standard lowercase "t" with a small hook attached to the upper right side of the letter's stem, distinguishing it from its plain counterpart. This character is part of the Latin Extended-B block and was included in Unicode to support accurate representation of linguistic texts that require this specific phonetic variation.
