ត U+178F, ត KHMER LETTER TA ← ណ [U+178E] Khmer ថ → [U+1790]

Khmer

Pronunciation

Orthographic and Phonemic ត t WT romanisation tɑɑ (standard) IPA(key) /tɑː/

Letter

ត, ្ត • (tɑɑ)

1. sixteenth letter of the Cambodian alphabet

Usage notes

• ្ដ (្dâ) from ដ (dɑɑ) (ដ្ដ (ddɑɑ)) is homographic to ្ត (្tâ) from ត (tɑɑ) (ត្ត (ttɑɑ)), and is the cause of a great many misspellings. Many Cambodians do not distinguish between the two subscripts, and type either of them for both subscript letters. They consider that a single glyph does duty for both letters.
• This letter belongs to the Khmer a-series consonants
