Q: How do you type T with an accent in Microsoft Word?

In Microsoft Word on Windows, type 0165 and immediately press Alt + X to convert it to ť. For capital Ť, type 0164 + Alt + X. For ț, type 021B + Alt + X. For ţ, type 0163 + Alt + X. For ŧ, type 0167 + Alt + X. For ṭ, type 1E6D + Alt + X. For ṫ, type 1E6B + Alt + X.

Q: Why does lowercase T with caron (ť) look like an apostrophe instead of a wedge?

In Czech and Slovak typography, the standard caron wedge (ˇ) would collide with the tall ascender of lowercase letters like 't' and 'd'. Type designers modified the caron on lowercase ť (and ď, ľ) into an apostrophe-like hook attached to the right shoulder of the letter. Capital Ť has ample room above the horizontal bar and thus displays the standard wedge caron.

Q: What are the Unicode code points and HTML entities for T with accents?

For ť use &tcaron; (U+0165); for Ť use &Tcaron; (U+0164); for ț use ț (U+021B); for Ț use Ț (U+021A); for ţ use &tcedil; (U+0163); for Ţ use &Tcedil; (U+0162); for ŧ use &tstrok; (U+0167); for Ŧ use &Tstrok; (U+0166); for ṫ use ṫ (U+1E6B); for ṭ use ṭ (U+1E6D); for ƭ use ƭ (U+01AD).

LINGUISTIC & GRAMMAR RULES

Linguistic, Historical & Grammatical Significance of T-Accent Marks

The letter T with diacritical marks carries deep historical and phonological importance across European, Arctic, Asian, and African languages:

Czech & Slovak: The Palatal Plosive & Typographical Apostrophe (ť / Ť)

In Czech and Slovak orthographies:

Phonetic Value: Represents the voiceless palatal plosive /c/ or palatalized /tʲ/.
Typographical Heritage: While uppercase Ť carries the standard wedge háček (caron), lowercase ť features an apostrophe-shaped hook attached to its right arm. This historic typographical design prevents vertical ascender collision and preserves clear legibility in continuous text.
Everyday Vocabulary: Czech ("taste/appetite"), ("railway track"), ("pay!"), ("snack"); Slovak ("memory"), ("nine"), ("five").

Romanian: The Comma Below (ț / Ț)

In standard modern Romanian:

Alveolar Affricate: Represents the voiceless alveolar affricate /t͡s/ ("ts" as in ).
Strict Orthographic Distinction: Standard Romanian officially mandates ț (T with comma below, Unicode U+021B). Unlike Turkish cedilla ţ, the Romanian comma is detached from the base letter.
Fundamental Words: ("country / land"), ("life"), ("boys"), ("a little"), → ("arms").

Northern Sámi: The Stroke / Bar (ŧ / Ŧ)

In Northern Sámi (an indigenous Uralic language of northern Scandinavia):

Dental Fricative: Represents the voiceless dental fricative /θ/ (identical to "th" in English or Icelandic ), found in core words like ("text") and ("ancestors").

IAST Sanskrit & Arabic: Retroflex & Emphatic T (ṭ / Ṭ)

In classical Asian and Middle Eastern linguistic transliterations:

Sanskrit IAST: Represents the voiceless retroflex plosive /ʈ/ (ट), as in ("theatrical drama"), ("water pot"), and ("vision").
Arabic Romanization: Represents the emphatic pharyngealized dental stop /tˤ/ (ط), as in ("student"), ("path/road"), and ("sultan").

Traditional Irish Gaelic: Lenition Dot (ṫ / Ṫ — Ponc Séimhithe)

Lenited Consonant: In traditional Gaelic script (Cló Gaelach), ṫ indicated lenited /t/ which softens to an /h/ sound ( → modern standard Irish "my house").

Romanian officially uses T with comma below (ț / Ț, Unicode U+021B / U+021A) to represent the voiceless alveolar affricate /t͡s/ ('ts' as in țară 'country'). The comma is detached from the base letter. T with cedilla (ţ / Ţ, Unicode U+0163 / U+0162) features a connected hook used in Turkish/Gagauz transliteration. Standard Romanian typography strictly requires the comma-below form.

In Northern Sámi, ŧ (capital Ŧ) represents the voiceless dental fricative /θ/ (identical to 'th' in English 'thin' or Icelandic 'þ'), as in the word ŧeaksta 'text'.

For ť use &tcaron; (U+0165); for Ť use &Tcaron; (U+0164); for ț use ț (U+021B); for Ț use Ț (U+021A); for ţ use &tcedil; (U+0163); for Ţ use &Tcedil; (U+0162); for ŧ use &tstrok; (U+0167); for Ŧ use &Tstrok; (U+0166); for ṫ use ṫ (U+1E6B); for ṭ use ṭ (U+1E6D); for ƭ use ƭ (U+01AD).

On iOS and Android virtual keyboards, press and hold down the letter t (or capital T). A popup strip displaying ť, ț, ţ, ŧ, and other variants will appear. Slide your finger across to the desired accent mark and release.
