What You'll Learn

How to display the uppercase T with hook (Ƭ) in HTML using hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS escape methods. This character is U+01AC (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER T WITH HOOK) in the Latin Extended-B block—a precomposed letter with a hook on the stem. It pairs with lowercase ƭ (U+01AD) and appears in phonetic notation and some African and other language orthographies.

Render it with Ƭ, Ƭ, or CSS escape \01AC. There is no named HTML entity for this character. In UTF-8 documents you can also type Ƭ directly. Do not confuse Ƭ with plain T (U+0054), Ⱦ (diagonal stroke), or Ʈ (retroflex hook).

🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#428; uses the decimal Unicode value 428 to display the same character. A common method when a numeric reference is needed.

Use Cases

The uppercase T hook (Ƭ) is commonly used in:

🎤 Phonetic transcription

Extended phonetic notation where t-with-hook represents a distinct alveolar or palatalized sound.

📚 Language documentation

Academic papers, orthographies, and linguistic resources for languages that use this letter form.

📖 Dictionaries

Pronunciation guides and reference works that include extended Latin letters such as Ƭ.

🌐 Multilingual sites

Support proper rendering of linguistic and minority-language content on international websites.

📄 Typography & publishing

Ensure correct character display in digital publications, orthography guides, and linguistic resources.

♿ Accessibility

Using the correct character (U+01AC) with proper lang attributes helps assistive technologies handle specialized text appropriately.

🎨 CSS generated content

Using \01AC in the CSS content property to insert Ƭ via pseudo-elements.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can type Ƭ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Use numeric references (&#x01AC; or &#428;) when escaping is required
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B characters
  • Use \01AC in CSS content when generating the symbol via pseudo-elements
  • Distinguish Ƭ (hook) from plain T (U+0054) and Ʈ (retroflex hook)

Don’t

  • Describe Ƭ as a core IPA letter—it is an extended Latin letter used in phonetic and orthographic contexts
  • Confuse Ƭ with Ʈ (retroflex hook) or Ⱦ (diagonal stroke)
  • Substitute plain T when Ƭ is required in orthographic text
  • Put CSS escape \01AC in HTML text nodes
  • Use U+001AC or CSS \001AC—the correct code is U+01AC and \01AC
