Usage
In Washo, it represents the bilabial ejective stop ([pʼ]) sound.
In the ISO 9 romanization of Abkhaz language, the letter replaces pe with middle hook (majuscule: Ҧ, minuscule: ҧ), which is pronounced as aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive ([pʰ]) sound.[2]
The letter appeared in the alphabet made by Jan Kochanowski for the Middle Polish language, that was used from 16th until 18th century. It represented the palatalized voiceless bilabial plosive ([pʲ]) sound.[4][5]
