History & usage: LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH COMMA BELOW is a letter in the Latin script. It sits in the Latin Extended-B block and has a code point of U+021B (hex 21B). It is used as a distinct letter in some writing systems, where the comma below adds a specific phonetic value. In general, punctuation marks structure text and convey tone; usage conventions differ by style and locale. This character is handled as a letter rather than a typical punctuation mark in most contexts, and its presence can affect how a word is read and interpreted within a line of text. The overall role of such diacritics is to differentiate sounds or meanings in the written language. When typesetting or encoding, the correct code point and font support ensure proper display of the diacritic. As with other accents and diacritics, the character must be supported by the font used and by the input system for accurate representation. Its use falls under the broader practice of adapting Latin letters to capture phonetic details across languages and styles. The surrounding text does not change the letter’s intrinsic identity and purpose in the writing system.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+21B in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
