Kt is a notation term: the symbol sometimes used for the knight when recording chess moves in descriptive notation, mainly in older literature. An N is used instead in algebraic notation and in later descriptive notation to avoid confusion with K, the symbol for the king. This matters because clear notation lets you replay, review, and share chess positions without confusion.
