T-comma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ț ț (T-comma) is a letter which is part of the Romanian alphabet, used to represent the Romanian language sound /ʦ/, the voiceless alveolar affricate (like ts in nuts).
This letter however was not part of the early Unicode versions, which is why Ţ (T-cedilla) is often used in digital texts in Romanian. T-comma was introduced only in Unicode 3.0 at the request of the Romanian national standardization body, but most computers today still do not have fonts compatible with it (computers with Microsoft operating systems older than Windows XP do not have compatible fonts). That is why almost all Romanian texts still use T-cedilla (or even T), despite the recommendation to migrate from cedilla to comma.
