Text symbol

What ݠ means

In Adamawa Fulfulde Ajami, it represents /p/. A 2010 proposal calls it pee. Fulfulde uses it for /p/ alongside ڢ for /f/; the distinction matters when reading or writing the language.

A 2003 Unicode proposal cites Chtatou's 1992 reports about orthography workshops held in the late 1980s. A Fulfulde orthography statement describes a search in Northern Cameroon in 2006 before the letter's adoption. The supplied history does not establish an inventor or first manuscript for this exact form.

ݠ marks Arabic-script writing adapted for an African language, here Adamawa Fulfulde.

In Fulfulde, ڢ represents /f/; substituting it for ݠ changes /p/ to /f/.

Why does ݠ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
