U+A750 "Ꝑ" Latin Capital Letter P with Stroke Through Descender is a historical typographic variant used primarily in medieval Latin and Old English manuscripts to represent an abbreviation for the Latin preposition "per" or "par" or sometimes for "pro", acting as a scribal shorthand to save space and writing effort. Its distinctive feature is a horizontal stroke cutting through the descender of the letter P, which descends below the baseline, allowing it to be distinguished from other abbreviated forms. This character belongs to the Latin Extended-D block and is part of the script’s inventory of medievalist and scholarly characters, occasionally used in modern contexts for philological or paleographic transcriptions of historical texts.
