The qp ligature, ȹ, is a typographic ligature of Latin q and p (also interpretable as a ligature of c and p), and is used in some phonetic transcription systems, particularly for African languages, to represent a voiceless labiodental plosive [p̪], for example in the Zulu sequence [ɱȹf’].

In Unicode

ȹ was added to Unicode 4.1 in 2005, though only a handful of fonts can display the character. These include Charis SIL, Code2000, Doulos SIL, Squarish Sans CT, and DejaVu fonts.
