''Tâw'' was the last letter of the Western [[Semitic]] and [[Hebrew alphabet]]s, and probably represented a cross. The sound value of Semitic ''Taw'', [[Greek alphabet]] Tαυ (''Tau''), [[Old Italic alphabet|Old Italic]] and Latin T has remained fairly constant, representing [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]] {{IPA|/t/}} in each of these; and it has also kept its original basic shape in all of these alphabets.
