Definition

What Is Uppercase P Hook?

Uppercase P Hook (Ƥ) is the Latin Extended-B character at Unicode U+01A4 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER P WITH HOOK). A hook on capital P distinguishes it from plain P. There is no named HTML entity — use hex or decimal codes for African orthographies and phonetic text.

Remember

Character     Ƥ
Unicode       U+01A4
Named entity  (none)
Hex entity    &#x01A4;
Decimal       &#420;
CSS escape    \01A4
Not the same  P · ℙ · ℘ · ƥ

Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: Ƥ. Prefer Ƥ in HTML markup. For plain capital P see uppercase P; for the lowercase pair see lowercase P hook (U+01A5).

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Uppercase P Hook (Ƥ)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\01A4";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x01A4;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#420;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: Ƥ</p>
  <p>Case pair: Ƥ / ƥ</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex / decimal: U+01A4 → Ƥ or Ƥ. The browser turns either into Ƥ.

2. Typed: in a UTF-8 document you can paste Ƥ directly — same glyph, no entity.

3. CSS: use \01A4 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ƥ after the paragraph text.

4. Case pair: lowercase is U+01A5 (ƥ) — see lowercase P hook.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Uppercase P Hook.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define &Phook;. Use Ƥ or Ƥ.

Plain P

Not the same as plain P

Plain P (U+0050) has no hook. Do not substitute it when Ƥ is required.

ℙ

Not double-struck P

U+2119 (ℙ, &Popf;) is a math letterlike symbol. See uppercase P double struck.

Fonts

Need Latin Extended-B coverage

Some fonts omit U+01A4. Prefer fonts that cover Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F).

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\01A4 belongs in CSS strings. Ƥ / Ƥ belong in HTML.

Case

Case is significant

Ƥ (U+01A4) and ƥ (U+01A5) are different characters. Use the case your content requires.

Compatibility

Browser Support

Uppercase P Hook (U+01A4) and its entity forms (Ƥ, Ƥ, CSS \\01A4) are supported in all mainstream browsers when the page is UTF-8 and the font covers Latin Extended-B.

✓ Universal support

Uppercase P Hook (Ƥ)

Encode with hex, decimal, CSS escape, or type the character — same Unicode code point everywhere.

U+01A4 / entities Full support

Bottom line: Prefer Ƥ in HTML text. Use Ƥ as an equivalent, and \\01A4 only inside CSS content. Glyph display depends on font coverage.

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: this letter is U+01A4 (decimal 420) — glyph Ƥ.
HTML: use Ƥ / Ƥ — no named entity.
CSS: use \01A4 inside content for generated text.
Watch out: Ƥ ≠ plain P ≠ ℙ ≠ ℘.

One line: U+01A4 → Ƥ / Ƥ / CSS \01A4 (no named entity).
