Lowercase t with hook (ƭ) is the Latin Extended-B character at Unicode U+01AD (LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH HOOK). A hook extends from the letter. It is used in phonetic notation and some linguistic orthographies. HTML5 defines no named entity for it.

Three ways to produce ƭ in a single document (no named entity).
html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Lowercase T Hook (ƭ) in HTML</title>
<style>
#point::after {
content: "\01AD";
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>T Hook using Hex Code: ƭ</p>
<p>T Hook using HTML Code: ƭ</p>
<p id="point">T Hook using CSS Entity: </p>
</body>
</html>
T Hook using Hex Code: ƭ
T Hook using HTML Code: ƭ
T Hook using CSS Entity: ƭ
How It Works
1. Hex:U+01AD → ƭ in HTML. There is no named entity for this code point.
2. Decimal: same code point as 429 → ƭ. Same glyph.
3. CSS: use \01AD in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ƭ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the t hook entity.
Named
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01AD. Use ƭ or ƭ.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01AD belongs in CSS. ƭ / ƭ belong in HTML.
Look-alikes
Not t, ȶ, or ƫ
Plain t is U+0074; curl is U+0236; palatal hook is U+01AB. Hook is U+01AD.
Case
ƭ vs Ƭ
Uppercase is U+01AC — a different code point from U+01AD.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ƭ, not ƭ.
UTF-8
Declare charset
If you paste ƭ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
