I think you ' ve gone too far . <| sep |> I ' m gonna guess that ' s a character from the Mongolian script the one they use in Inner Mongolia . Edit Shit , it ' s a t with a like a in French . The only language on Wikipedia I could find that uses is the Gagauz language when it ' s written in the Latin alphabet instead of the Cyrillic alphabet . The Cyrillic alphabet was used to write Gagauz from 1957 to 1991 when Gagauzia was part of the Moldovan SSR . The is also very similar to the tcomma in Romanian which is unsurprisingly , a t with a comma under it . wasn ' t in early Unicode so people used instead . wasn ' t added to Unicode until 1999 , but Windows fonts didn ' t support it until Windows 7 . My guess of the Mongolian script was pretty bad as the closest looking letter is which makes the sound of the y in the English word you .
