What You'll Learn

How to display the uppercase t with comma below (Ț) in HTML using hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS escape methods. This character is U+021A in the Latin Extended-B block. It is the standard capital letter for modern Romanian (e.g. Țară — country, Stație — station), representing a palatalized or affricate t sound.

Render it with Ț, Ț, or CSS escape \021A. There is no named HTML entity for this character. In UTF-8 documents you can also type Ț directly. Do not confuse Ț with historical Ţ (T with cedilla, U+0162)—a different character.

🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x021A; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 021A to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#538; uses the decimal Unicode value 538 to display the same character. A common method when a numeric reference is needed.

HTML markup
3

Direct Character

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

4

CSS Entity

\021A 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: Ț. Unicode U+021A sits in Latin Extended-B. Lowercase equivalent: U+021B (ț). Do not confuse with Ţ (t cedilla) or plain T (U+0054).

✅

Use Cases

The uppercase t comma below (Ț) is commonly used in:

🇷🇴 Romanian

Essential for correct modern Romanian spelling at word starts (e.g. Țară, Stație). Use U+021A, not the legacy t-cedilla (U+0162).

🌐 Multilingual Sites

Support proper rendering of Romanian place names, personal names, and content on international websites.

📚 Language Learning

Teach correct Romanian spelling and distinguish comma below from cedilla and caron variants of t.

📄 Typography & Publishing

Ensure correct character display in digital publications, dictionaries, and government or legal documents in Romanian.

🔬 Linguistic & Academic

Used in Romanian language studies, orthography guides, and academic papers on Balkan and Romance linguistics.

♿ Accessibility

Using the correct character (U+021A) with proper lang attributes (e.g. lang="ro") ensures assistive technologies pronounce content correctly.

🎨 CSS Generated Content

Using \021A in the CSS content property to insert Ț via pseudo-elements.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can type Ț directly in UTF-8 source
  • Use numeric references (&#x021A; or &#538;) when escaping is required
  • Set lang="ro" on Romanian content for correct pronunciation hints
  • Use \021A in CSS content when generating the symbol via pseudo-elements
  • Distinguish Ț (comma below) from Ţ (cedilla) and plain T (U+0054)

Don’t

  • Substitute plain T when Ț is required in Romanian text
  • Use Ţ (cedilla) for modern Romanian—Romanian uses Ț (comma below, U+021A)
  • Confuse Ț (comma below) with Ť (caron) or plain T (U+0054)
  • Put CSS escape \021A in HTML text nodes
  • Use U+0021A or CSS \0021A—the correct code is U+021A and \021A

Key Takeaways

1

Type Ț directly, or use hex/decimal references

&#x021A; &#538;
2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property
