Unicode Version 17.0

𐤐

U+10910 "𐤐" Phoenician Letter Pe is a character from the Phoenician alphabet, the precursor to many modern scripts, where it represents the consonant sound "p" and corresponds to the Greek letter Pi and the Latin letter P. As the seventeenth letter in the Phoenician abjad, its name likely derives from the word for "mouth," reflecting its possible original pictographic depiction of a mouth shape. This character is encoded in the Phoenician block of Unicode, specifically for historical and scholarly representation of ancient Semitic writings, such as those from Tyre, Sidon, or Carthage. It appears in digital texts to preserve the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Phoenician civilization, which significantly influenced the development of writing systems across the Mediterranean region.
