🎤 Phonetic transcription

Extended phonetic notation and orthographies where U+01AB represents a palatalized or related t sound.

🎨 CSS Generated Content

Using \01AB in the CSS content property to insert ƫ via pseudo-elements.

💡 Best Practices

Do

Use U+01AB (ƫ) when your source requires this specific code point
Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type ƫ directly in UTF-8 source
Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B for phonetic and linguistic text
Distinguish U+01AB from U+01AD (ƭ) and plain t (U+0074)
Pick one entity style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency

Don’t

Substitute plain t or U+01AD when U+01AB is required
Assume U+01AB and U+01AD are interchangeable—they are different glyphs
Expect a named HTML entity—none exists for this character
Use U+001AB or CSS \001AB—the correct code is U+01AB and \01AB
Put CSS escape \01AB in HTML text nodes

Key Takeaways

Type ƫ directly, or use hex/decimal references

ƫ ƫ

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property
