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 ("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.
