Latin Capital Letter P With Squirrel Tail Letter Meaning
The character Ꝕ is a capital letter variant of “P,” distinguished by the “squirrel tail” glyph. Because it has a dedicated Unicode code point (U+A754), it’s used when authors, scholars, or typographers need the precise visual form rather than a standard P. You’ll most often encounter it in historical or specialized writing systems, editorial texts, or font/typography workflows that support Latin Extended characters. For plain text, copying the symbol ensures compatibility with Unicode-aware software; for web use, the Unicode code point and escapes (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) help you reproduce it reliably.
Common uses
- •Copy/paste into editorial or academic text that requires the exact capital P variant
- •Typography and font testing for Latin Extended character support
- •Creating spec-compliant mockups for websites that display extended Latin letters
