Pe with descender or Phe (Ԥ ԥ; italics: Ԥ ԥ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is used in the alphabet of the Abkhaz language, where it represents the aspirated consonant /pʰ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨p⟩ in "pack", replacing the now-obsolete letter ⟨Ҧ⟩.
In modern Runet culture
editThis letter can be a euphemism for the obscene word "пиздец" (a total disaster, failure). It is basically a contraction of the letters П and Ц, the first and the last letters of the word.[1]
