I digress. I write to ask, what is the ?Greek? letter which looks like a
small p or Greek rho with the stem extended upwards? You see it on
blackboards mostly.

 
I'm not recognizing that description as among Greek letters ... is it
in charts at either of the following?
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet>
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_script_in_Unicode>
 
However I'm reminded of thorn (without stroke), as seen at eg
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)>

At the end of the Greek_script link, there's a character looking like
thorn.  See "Greek Capital Letter Sho" or san pages
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sho_(letter)> and
