U+0553 "Փ" Armenian Capital Letter Piwr is the uppercase form of the twenty-sixth letter in the Armenian alphabet, known as "piwr" or "p'iwr," which represents the aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive sound /pʰ/, similar to the "p" in the English word "pit." This letter is used primarily in classical and modern Eastern and Western Armenian orthographies, appearing at the beginning, middle, or end of words such as "փող" (p'ogh, meaning "money"). Its visual form features a distinct looped, curving shape unique to Armenian script, and it follows the letter "Ւ" (Yiwn) and precedes "Ք" (K'eh) in the standard alphabetical order, reflecting the historical development of the Armenian writing system created by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century.
