U+1D29 "ᴩ" Greek Letter Small Capital Rho Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1D29 "ᴩ" Greek Letter Small Capital Rho is a typographic variant of the Greek letter rho, designed as a small capital form that appears similar to a lowercase Latin 'p' but with a more closed loop and a distinctively short, straight stem. It belongs to the Phonetic Extensions block, where it is used primarily in historical and modern phonetic transcription systems to represent a specific sound, such as a voiceless bilabial trill or a labialized consonant, depending on the linguistic context. This character is rarely encountered in standard Greek text but serves as a specialized symbol in linguistics, particularly in the International Phonetic Alphabet’s extended range or in phonetic notation for ancient and minority languages.
