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.

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.  There
are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language
that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful.
