The newish Gagauz Turkish Latin-script orthography derives from both
Turkish and Romanian models. This has led to a peculiar hybrid, in which
the cedilla is used for the s and the commaaccent is used for the t. If the
Gagauz Turks became interested in stressing their Turkishness, they might
decide that both s and t should use the cedilla, but I've not seen any
examples of this yet. I don't know of any other languages for which the
t-cedilla form might be appropriate, so I've always mapped both U+0163 and
U+021B to the same t-commaaccent glyph.

Language must belong to the Other -- to my linguistic community
as a whole -- before it can belong to me, so that the self comes to its
unique articulation in a medium which is always at some level
indifferent to it. - Terry Eagleton
