Lowercase t with curl (ȶ) is the Latin Extended-B character at Unicode U+0236 (LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH CURL). The letter has a distinctive curl on the stem. It is used in phonetic and linguistic notation. HTML5 defines no named entity for it.

Three ways to produce ȶ in a single document (no named entity).

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Lowercase T Curl (ȶ) in HTML</title>
<style>
#point::after {
content: "\0236";
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>T Curl using Hex Code: ȶ</p>
<p>T Curl using HTML Code: ȶ</p>
<p id="point">T Curl using CSS Entity: </p>

T Curl using Hex Code: ȶ
T Curl using HTML Code: ȶ
T Curl using CSS Entity: ȶ
How It Works
1. Hex:U+0236 → ȶ in HTML. There is no named entity for this code point.
2. Decimal: same code point as 566 → ȶ. Same glyph.
3. CSS: use \0236 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ȶ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the t curl entity.
Named
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+0236. Use ȶ or ȶ.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0236 belongs in CSS. ȶ / ȶ belong in HTML.
Look-alikes
Not t or ƫ
Plain t is U+0074; t with palatal hook ƫ is U+01AB. Curl is a different letter.
Fonts
Need Extended-B coverage
Some fonts omit Latin Extended-B. Prefer a font that includes U+0236 for a reliable glyph.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ȶ, not ȶ.
UTF-8
Declare charset
If you paste ȶ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
