T with cedilla should never have existed. When s with comma and s with
cedilla were (falsely) unified in ISO 8859 in favor of the latter, the
t with comma was also replaced by a t with cedilla, something not used by
any language. These two were then copied into Unicode as-is. When
the false unification was broken, t with comma was added for the first
time; t with cedilla is now useless but must be kept for stability reasons.
