Pe with descender (Ԥ ԥ; italics:Ԥ ԥ) is a letter of theCyrillic script. It is used in the alphabet of theAbkhaz language, where it represents the aspirated consonant/pʰ/, like the pronunciation of⟨p⟩ in "pack", replacing the now-obsolete letter⟨Ҧ⟩.
This letter can be aeuphemism for theobscene word "пиздец" (a total disaster, failure). It is basically a contraction of the lettersП andЦ, the first and the last letters of the word.[1]
