U+10315 "𐌕" Old Italic Letter Te Unicode Character

U+10315 "𐌕" Old Italic Letter Te is a character from the Old Italic script, a family of alphabets used across ancient Italy, including by the Etruscans, Oscans, and Umbrians, before being largely supplanted by the Latin alphabet. This specific character represents the sound "t" and is a direct ancestor of the Latin letter T, sharing a common origin with the Greek letter tau. In Unicode, it is encoded in the Old Italic block, which was added to support historical and linguistic research into these early writing systems that flourished between roughly the 8th and 1st centuries BCE.
