Voiceless retroflex plosive: Difference between revisions

The symbol that represents this sound in the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] is {{angbr IPA|ʈ}}. Like all the [[retroflex consonant]]s, the IPA symbol is formed by adding a rightward-pointing hook extending from the bottom of tee (the letter used for the equivalent [[alveolar consonant]]). In many fonts lowercase tee already has a rightward-pointing hook, but {{angbr IPA|ʈ}} is distinguished from {{angbr IPA|t}} by extending the hook below the [[Baseline (typography)|baseline]] (Ʈ).
