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.
