پ (pāʔ) is not considered a distinct letter, but a variant of ب (bāʔ) that is sometimes used to write foreign names and loanwords with the phoneme /p/. It can be written and pronounced as a ب (bāʔ) instead.
From ب (b) with three dots instead of one, added to the Arabic alphabet in the creation of the Perso-Arabic script in order to accommodate the /p/ phoneme of Persian missing from Arabic.
