Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this character.
Prefer
Type T in body text
ASCII letters do not need entities for normal reading. Prefer typing T directly.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+0054. Use numeric forms when an entity is required.
Look-alikes
Not T caron
Ordinary T is U+0054. Ť (U+0164) is a different letter with a caron.
Case
Use the correct case
Lowercase is t (U+0074). Do not mix case when casing matters for identifiers or display.
CSS
Pad the CSS escape
Use \0054 (not bare \54) so a following digit is not absorbed into the escape.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write T, not T.
