This is mainly a font issue. t with dot below is not included in the
Microsoft core fonts. It is included in some other fonts which come with
Windows including Arial Unicode MS. It is also included in some very
good freely downloadable fonts such as Gentium and TITUS Cyberbut Basic,
and in the version of Doulos SIL which I have.

You can type this character in Word (2002 at least) by typing 1E6D,
Alt-X. The capital is 1E6C, Alt-X. You can set up your own shortcut keys
from Insert Symbol.
