What You'll Learn

How to display the lowercase t with curl (ȶ) in HTML using hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS escape methods. The curl is a hook-shaped diacritic on the letter t, used in phonetic notation and some orthographies to represent a palatalized or similar alveolar sound. This character is U+0236 in the Latin Extended-B block.

Render it with ȶ, ȶ, or CSS escape \236. There is no named HTML entity for this character, so numeric codes or CSS must be used. In UTF-8 documents you can also type ȶ directly.

🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x0236; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 0236 to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#566; uses the decimal Unicode value 566 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.

HTML markup
3

CSS Entity

\236 is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

Same visual result

All three methods produce the glyph: ȶ. Unicode U+0236 sits in Latin Extended-B. Do not confuse with plain t (U+0074), ƫ (t palatal hook), or t hook variants. Use the precomposed character for correct semantics in phonetic text.

✅

Use Cases

The lowercase t curl (ȶ) is commonly used in:

🎤 Phonetic transcription

Extended phonetic notation where t-with-curl represents a palatalized or similar alveolar sound.

🔤 Linguistics

Academic papers, language documentation, and phonological descriptions using Latin Extended-B.

📖 Dictionaries

Pronunciation guides and reference works that include phonetic symbols such as ȶ.

🌐 Orthography

Writing systems that use the t-with-curl as a distinct letter or symbol.

🎨 Typography

Fonts and typographic systems supporting Latin Extended-B for phonetic use.

♿ Accessibility

Using U+0236 ensures screen readers interpret ȶ as one character, not t plus a mark.

⚙ Programmatic HTML

When generating phonetic markup, using &#566; or &#x0236; ensures correct output.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use U+0236 (ȶ) for t with curl; use U+0074 for plain t when semantics matter
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type ȶ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B for phonetic and linguistic text
  • Prefer the precomposed character U+0236 over combining forms
  • Pick one entity style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency

Don’t

  • Substitute plain t when ȶ is required for correct phonetic notation
  • Confuse ȶ (t with curl) with ƫ (t palatal hook) or t hook variants
  • Expect a named HTML entity—none exists for this character
  • Use U+00236 or CSS \00236—the correct code is U+0236 and \236
  • Put CSS escape \236 in HTML text nodes

Key Takeaways

1

Three references render ȶ; no named entity exists

&#x0236; &#566;
2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property
