U+189E "ᢞ" Mongolian Letter Manchu Ali Gali Tta is a rare glyph used in the Mongolian script for transcribing foreign sounds, specifically within the Manchu Ali Gali extension of the Mongolian alphabet. This character represents a retroflex or emphatic 't' sound, employed primarily in historical or religious texts to accurately render Sanskrit, Tibetan, or Chinese loanwords and proper names. It forms part of the Ali Gali subset designed for Buddhist transliterations, ensuring phonetic precision in writing foreign terms that do not naturally occur in standard Mongolian or Manchu phonology.
