Visually, you usually couldn't, any more than you can tell apart U+0050 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER P and U+03A1 GREEK CAPITAL LETTER RHO in a typical, stylistically harmonized font. Don't ask me to vouch for and explain the vagaries of Uralic notational practice, which I find alien. ;-) My expectation would be that practitioners would not use both U+1D18 (a small-cap P, for a "semi-voiced" [p] sound -- not really a well-defined IPA concept) and U+1D29 (a small-cap RHO, for voiceless uvular trill, = IPA <U+0280, U+0325>) in the same transcription, however, as even they would get confused. --Ken
