Letter 'T' is a symbol in roman alphabet. There is no history behind use of symbols in Roman alphabet. The alphabet is only to facilitate writing It was necessary to allot symbol for each sound that we may utter. Hence done.

This is about shape of the alphabet 'T'. It is asked why this is shaped like an island.

Because the letter T is in the middle of the word water just like an island which is in the middle of water.

This explains 'HOW' 'T' is of island shape. But the question is 'WHY' this is so shaped. There is no answer for 'why'.. All alphabets are just names given to sounds and there is no history showing reason for giving any particular shape.

Now '8' is like fat lady. How this is- we may explain. But why this shape given- no answer.

I have another explanation for this. I think 'T' is actually a "tea". It sounds same. Just like 'B' is "Bee", etc.If 'T' is island then 'L' and 'U' are also islands.

Also island need not be T shaped. This could be O shaped or any other shaped.

Yes that is exactly the point an island has no definite shape. It can be of a number of sizes or shapes then why is it being said that T is like an island. :unsure:
