The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Pe is the seventeenth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Arabic fāʾ ف, Aramaic pē 𐡐, Hebrew pē פ, Phoenician pē 𐤐, and Syriac pē ܦ. (in abjadi order).
The original sound value is a voiceless bilabial plosive /p/ and it retains this value in most Semitic languages, except for Arabic, where the sound /p/ changed into the voiceless labiodental fricative /f/, carrying with it the pronunciation of the letter. However, the sound /p/ in Arabic is used in loanwords with the letter pe as an alternative. Under the Persian influence, many Arabic dialects in the Persian Gulf, as well as in Egypt and in some of the Maghreb under the Ottoman influence uses the letter pe to represent the sound /p/ which is missing in Modern Standard Arabic. Not to be confused with the Turned g. The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek Pi (Π), Latin P, and Cyrillic П.
