What You'll Learn

How to display the uppercase T with cedilla (Ţ) in HTML using named entity, hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS escape methods. This character is U+0162 in the Latin Extended-A block. The cedilla marks a palatalized t sound—found in historical Romanian spelling such as Ţară (country), Staţie (station), and Naţiune (nation).

Render it with Ţ, Ţ, Ţ, or CSS escape \0162. The named entity Ţ is the most readable option in HTML source. Note: modern Romanian orthography uses Ț (comma below) instead of Ţ.

🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x0162; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 0162 to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#354; uses the decimal Unicode value 354 to display the same character. A common method when a numeric reference is needed.

HTML markup
3

Named Entity

&Tcedil; is the named entity for T cedilla—readable in source HTML and useful for legacy Romanian and multilingual content.

HTML markup
4

CSS Entity

\0162 is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

CSS stylesheet
=

Same visual result

All four methods produce the glyph: Ţ. Unicode U+0162 sits in Latin Extended-A. Lowercase equivalent: U+0163 (ţ, &tcedil;). Do not confuse with Ť (caron), Ț (comma below), or plain T (U+0054).

Use Cases

The uppercase T cedilla (Ţ) is commonly used in:

🇷🇴 Historical Romanian

Pre-1993 Romanian orthography used Ţ (cedilla) at word starts in words like Ţară. Still appears in older books, scans, and digitized archives.

📚 Language & Linguistics

Teach the difference between cedilla (Ţ) and comma-below (Ț) forms of Romanian t, and how Unicode encodes each separately.

🌐 Multilingual Sites

Support proper rendering of legacy Romanian text, Gagauz, and other content that uses the cedilla form on international websites.

📄 Typography & Publishing

Ensure correct character display when reproducing historical documents, dictionaries, and academic publications.

🔍 Data Migration

When converting legacy encoded text to UTF-8, entity references help preserve Ţ reliably across systems and editors.

♿ Accessibility

Using the correct character (U+0162) with proper lang attributes (e.g. lang="ro") helps assistive technologies handle content appropriately.

🎨 CSS Generated Content

Using \0162 in the CSS content property to insert Ţ via pseudo-elements.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can type Ţ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Use &Tcedil; for readable HTML when a named form is preferred
  • Use Ț (comma below) for modern Romanian orthography—see Uppercase T Comma Below
  • Set lang="ro" on Romanian content for correct language hints
  • Use \0162 in CSS content when generating the symbol via pseudo-elements

Don’t

  • Use Ţ (cedilla) when modern Romanian Ț (comma below) is required
  • Describe Ţ as a Turkish character—Turkish does not use T with cedilla
  • Confuse Ţ (cedilla) with Ť (caron) or plain T (U+0054)
  • Put CSS escape \0162 in HTML text nodes
  • Assume cedilla and comma-below forms are interchangeable in Unicode
