LINGUISTIC & GRAMMAR RULES
Linguistic, Historical & Grammatical Significance of P-Accent Marks
Diacritically modified forms of P appear in historical Celtic manuscripts, African phonetic alphabets, and academic linguistic transcriptions:
Traditional Irish Gaelic: Lenition & Ponc Séimhithe (Ṗ / ṗ)
In classical Gaelic orthography (Cló Gaelach):
The Ponc Séimhithe (Overdot): The dot placed directly above ṗ indicated consonant mutation (lenition / aspiration).
Phonetic Mutation: Lenition shifted the voiceless bilabial plosive /p/ into the voiceless labiodental fricative /f/.
Modern Irish Digraph Representation: In modern Roman type spelling adopted in the mid-20th century, ṗ is written as the digraph ph (e.g. mo ṗáiste → mo pháiste "my child", ṗós → phós "married", an ṗictiúr → an phictiúr "the picture").
In African linguistics and the African Reference Alphabet:
The Hooked P (Ƥ / ƥ): Represents the voiceless bilabial implosive consonant /ɓ̥/, an ingressive plosive sound found in Atlantic languages of West Africa such as Serer and varieties of Fula.
Classical Romanization & Pitch Accent (Ṕ / ṕ)
In Indo-European comparative linguistics and Greek transliterations:
Stress Marking: Used in phonetic and phonological reconstructions to indicate high pitch or primary stress falling on an unvoiced bilabial stop.
Austronesian & Indigenous Linguistics (p¯ & p~)
Macron Length (p¯): Used in indigenous Peruvian Yanesha' to represent prolonged or tense bilabial articulation.
Nasalized Stop (p~): Denotes nasalized plosives in phonetic field transcriptions of Amazonian languages.

The Alt code for ṕ (P with acute) is Alt + 7765, and for capital Ṕ it is Alt + 7764. For ṗ (P with dot above), use Alt + 7767 (capital Ṗ is Alt + 7766). For ƥ (P with hook / implosive), use Alt + 0404 (capital Ƥ is Alt + 0403). For ᵽ (P with stroke), use Alt + 7549.

For p~ (tilde), press Option + n then p. You can also press and hold the p key on your keyboard to reveal the diacritics popup menu.

In traditional Irish Gaelic orthography (Cló Gaelach), the overdot (ponc séimhithe or buailte) over 'p' indicates consonant lenition (aspiration), shifting the voiceless bilabial stop /p/ into the voiceless labiodental fricative /f/. In modern Roman type spelling, ṗ is written as the digraph 'ph', as in mo ṗáiste → mo pháiste 'my child' and ṗós → phós 'married'.
In the African Reference Alphabet and languages such as Serer and Fula (spoken across West and Central Africa), ƥ represents the voiceless bilabial implosive consonant /ɓ̥/ or a glottalized labial sound.
P with macron (p¯) and P with tilde (p~) are used in phonetic linguistics, indigenous South American orthographies (such as Yanesha'), and Pacific Austronesian languages to denote long plosives or nasalized bilabial articulation.
For ṗ use ṗ (U+1E57); for ? use Ṕ (U+1E56); for ? use ṗ (U+1E55); for ? use Ṗ (U+1E54); for ? use ƥ (U+01A5); for ? use Ƥ (U+01A4); for ? use ᵽ (U+1D7D).
On iOS and Android virtual keyboards, press and hold down the letter p (or capital P). A popup strip displaying ṕ, ṗ, ƥ, and other variants will appear. Slide your finger across to the desired accent mark and release.
