Latin Small Letter T With Circumflex Below Letter
ṱ is the Latin small letter T with a circumflex placed below it (U+1E71).
U+1E71
The character “ṱ” (U+1E71) belongs to the Latin Extended set. It’s used to write languages and linguistic transcriptions that rely on diacritics beneath letters.
Latin Small Letter T With Circumflex Below Letter Meaning
ṱ is a Latin-script character: the lowercase “t” combined with a circumflex positioned below the letter. In practice, this diacritic changes the phonetic value of “t” in specific orthographies or transcription systems, often indicating a distinct sound or pronunciation detail. Because the circumflex is placed below rather than above, “ṱ” is not interchangeable with ordinary “t” or with letters that have different t diacritics. When you need the exact typographic form for a given language, glossary, or dataset, use “ṱ” specifically (U+1E71) rather than approximations.
Common uses
- •Writing or proofreading text in languages that use circumflex-below diacritics

- •Labeling datasets, datasets fields, or study materials where exact characters matter
- •Building search terms, tags, or slugs for content written in a specific orthography
- •Typography work such as custom fonts, glyph sets, and character mapping tables
