p

latin small letter p

Lowercase p

80/94

Lowercase p on its own is usually just a letter; read the surrounding text before treating it as slang. Small p does not, by itself, make your message childish. A playful reading belongs to an expression such as :P, not automatically to every p you see.

Text symbol

What p means

Read the whole expression, not just the p. In :P, the colon and capital letter form an emoticon—a face made from typed characters. If someone sends you only p and the conversation gives you no clue, ask what they meant rather than assuming they were teasing.

Why does p 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.
