U+01A4 "Ƥ" Latin Capital Letter P with Hook Unicode Character

U+01A4 "Ƥ" Latin Capital Letter P with Hook is a modified variant of the standard Latin letter P, distinguished by a small hook attached to the lower right side of the letter's bowl. This character is primarily used in the African reference alphabet for phonetic transcription, where it represents a voiced bilabial implosive sound, a type of consonant produced by drawing the glottis downward while the lips are closed, creating an ingressive airflow. It is most notably employed in the orthographies of certain West African languages, such as the Ewe language of Ghana and Togo, where it serves to denote a distinct phoneme not covered by the basic Latin alphabet.
