U+2C63 "Ᵽ" Latin Capital Letter P with Stroke Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ᵽ
U+2C63 "Ᵽ" Latin Capital Letter P with Stroke is a specialized letter used primarily in certain Latin-based orthographies for indigenous languages of the Americas, most notably in the writing systems of the Colombian language Páez (Nasa Yuwe), where it represents a specific plosive sound distinct from the regular 'P'. Its glyph is formed by adding a horizontal stroke through the vertical stem of a standard uppercase Latin P, and it belongs to the Latin Extended-C block of the Unicode standard. While not frequently encountered outside of linguistic and typographic contexts, this character ensures accurate written representation for communities that rely on its distinct phonetic value.
