P̃

P̃ (majuscule: P̃, minuscule: p̃) is a Latin P with a diacritical tilde. It is or was used as a grapheme in some languages of Vanuatu, such as North Efate, South Efate and Namakura, to represent a sound, like the $⟨c⟩$ in "cat" and $⟨p⟩$ in "pay", pronounced simultaneously. It is also used in the Yanesha language.

The letter was introduced by missionaries and has been in use for over a hundred years.

In Bislama, the lingua franca of Vanuatu, p with tilde is called snekpi "snake-P".

In Old English, it was used as a contraction of the penny, as in ⋅cxx⋅ p̃. ("120 pence").

Computer encoding
Unicode encodes p with tilde with a combining diacritical mark, rather than a precomposed character. As such, the tilde may not align properly with some fonts and systems. In standard HTML code: majuscule P&amp;#771;, minuscule p&amp;#771;. The Unicode HTML hex code is: minuscule &amp;#x0070;&amp;#x0303;, majuscule &amp;#x0050;&amp;#x0303;. The Unicode HTML decimal code is: minuscule &amp;#112;&amp;#771;, majuscule &amp;#80;&amp;#771;.
