U+021B "ț" Latin Small Letter T with Comma Below Unicode Character

U+021B "ț" Latin Small Letter T with Comma Below is a typographic variant used primarily in the Romanian language to represent the voiceless alveolar affricate sound /ts/, as in the Romanian word "țăran". This character is sometimes confused with the similar-looking "ţ" (the Latin Small Letter T with Cedilla, U+0163), but the comma below is the officially preferred form in modern Romanian orthography, as the cedilla is considered an older or less accurate glyph. The character is encoded in Unicode to ensure proper digital representation and text processing for Romanian, and it has been supported in major operating systems and fonts since its inclusion in Unicode Version 3.0.
