This character is a Currency Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as Filipino peso sign.
The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it is written as end of a European number, e.g., a currency symbol, from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+20B1 prohibits a line break after it, if it is followed by a number.
The CLDR project calls this character “peso” for use in screen reading software.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
The Philippine peso sign (₱) is the currency symbol used for the Philippine peso, the official currency of the Philippines. The symbol resembles a Latin letter P with two horizontal strokes. It differs from the currency symbol used for the peso in Latin America, which is "$".
