🧠 How It Works

Hexadecimal Code

ƭ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 01AD to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup

Decimal HTML Code

ƭ uses the decimal Unicode value 429 to display the same character. A common method when a numeric reference is needed.

HTML markup

Direct Character

Type ƭ directly in HTML when your document uses UTF-8 encoding. There is no named entity for this letter.

HTML markup

CSS Entity

\01AD is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

Same visual result

All methods produce the glyph: ƭ. Unicode U+01AD sits in Latin Extended-B. Do not confuse with plain t (U+0074), ȶ (t curl), or ƫ (alternate palatal hook form).

✅

Use Cases

The lowercase t hook (ƭ) is commonly used in:

🎤 Phonetic transcription

Extended phonetic notation where t-with-palatal-hook represents a distinct alveolar or palatalized sound.

📚 Language documentation

Academic papers, orthographies, and linguistic resources for languages that use this letter form.

📖 Dictionaries

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

📐 Typography

When a font or design includes this Latin Extended-B character. Use numeric references to output it reliably in HTML or CSS.

♿ Accessibility

Using U+01AD ensures screen readers interpret ƭ as one character, not t plus a diacritic mark.

⚙ Programmatic HTML

When generating phonetic markup, using ƭ or ƭ ensures correct output.

🎨 CSS Generated Content

Using \01AD in the CSS content property to insert ƭ via pseudo-elements.

💡 Best Practices

Do

Use U+01AD (ƭ) for t with palatal hook; use U+0074 for plain t when semantics matter
Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type ƭ directly in UTF-8 source
Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B for phonetic and linguistic text
Prefer the precomposed character U+01AD over combining forms
Pick one entity style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency

Don’t

Substitute plain t when ƭ is required for correct notation
Confuse ƭ (palatal hook) with ȶ (curl) or plain t (U+0074)
Expect a named HTML entity—none exists for this character
Use U+001AD or CSS \001AD—the correct code is U+01AD and \01AD
Put CSS escape \01AD in HTML text nodes

Key Takeaways

Type ƭ directly, or use hex/decimal references

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property
