Lowercase t with comma below (ț) is the Latin Extended-B character at Unicode U+021B (LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH COMMA BELOW). A comma hangs below the letter. It is the standard letter in modern Romanian. HTML5 defines no named entity for it.
Remember
Character ț
Unicode U+021B
Named entity (none)
Hex entity ț
Decimal ț
CSS escape \021B
All of these produce the same glyph: ț. Prefer a pasted ț in UTF-8 pages; use numeric or CSS forms when you need an escape.

Three ways to produce ț in a single document (no named entity).
html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Lowercase T Comma Below (ț) in HTML</title>
<style>
#point::after {
content: "\021B";
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>T Comma Below using Hex Code: ț</p>
<p>T Comma Below using HTML Code: ț</p>
<p id="point">T Comma Below using CSS Entity: </p>
</body>
</html>
T Comma Below using Hex Code: ț
T Comma Below using HTML Code: ț
T Comma Below using CSS Entity: ț
How It Works
1. Hex:U+021B → ț in HTML. There is no named entity for this code point.
2. Decimal: same code point as 539 → ț. Same glyph.
3. CSS: use \021B in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ț after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the t comma below entity.
Romanian
Prefer comma below
Modern Romanian uses ț (U+021B), not the cedilla ţ. Use this letter for current orthography.
Named
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+021B. Use ț or ț.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\021B belongs in CSS. ț / ț belong in HTML.
Look-alikes
Not t or ţ
Plain t is U+0074; t cedilla ţ is U+0163. Comma below is a different mark.
Case
ț vs Ț
Uppercase is U+021A — a different code point from U+021B.
UTF-8
Declare charset
If you paste ț directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
