Pe with middle hook

Pe with middle hook (Ҧ ҧ; italics: Ҧ ҧ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter Pe (П п) by the addition of a hook to the middle of the right leg.

Pe with middle hook was formerly used in the Abkhaz language, where it represented the aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive /pʰ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨p⟩ in "pack". It was the 36th letter of the alphabet and is transliterated using ⟨ṗ⟩. It was replaced by the Cyrillic letter Pe with descender (Ԥ ԥ).
