The letter “p” serves as a versatile shorthand in literature, appearing in different contexts that reflect both its functional and stylistic roles. In scholarly works and historical narratives, “p” is most commonly used as an abbreviation for “page,” helping to precisely locate information, as seen in Edward Gibbon’s extensive referencing ([1], [2], [3]). In travel literature and antiquarian texts, “p” similarly directs readers to specific parts of the text—for instance, within Marco Polo’s and other historical itineraries ([4], [5]). Beyond page references, “p” also appears in specialized contexts such as chess notation in Capablanca’s work ([6], [7], [8]), where it designates moves or positions, demonstrating its adaptability across genres. Additionally, “p” may be part of names or dialogue cues in literary narratives ([9], [10]), further highlighting its diverse use throughout literature.
