U+10450 "𐑐" Shavian Letter Peep Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐑐
U+10450 "𐑐" Shavian Letter Peep is a consonant in the Shavian alphabet, designed specifically to represent the sound /p/ as in the English word "peep." This alphabet was invented by Ronald Kingsley Read as a phonetic alternative to the Latin script for the English language, intended to simplify spelling and improve literacy. The character's shape, resembling a forward-leaning vertical line with a small loop at the top, visually suggests the puff of air produced when pronouncing the voiceless bilabial plosive. As part of the Shavian block in Unicode, it is primarily used in specialized texts, transliteration, and by enthusiasts of phonetic writing systems.
