U+0524 "Ԥ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Pe with Descender Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ԥ
U+0524 "Ԥ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Pe with Descender is a modified Cyrillic letter used in certain minority languages of Russia, most notably the Abkhaz and Ossetian languages, where it represents a specific sound typically transcribed as a palatalized or aspirated ‘p’. It is formed by adding a descender, a small stroke descending below the baseline, to the standard Cyrillic letter Pe (П). This character is part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block and should not be confused with similar-looking letters like the Latin P with hook or other Cyrillic variants, as it has its own distinct encoding and linguistic purpose. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the proper digital representation of these languages in modern text systems.
