What ﭫ means
No. It is the final presentation form of ڤ.
Arabic presentation form compatibility characters store shaped variants of letters. In ordinary Arabic-script text, the nominal Veh letter ڤ is the one to enter; the shaping engine chooses an isolated, initial, medial, or final glyph from context.
The final form joins the preceding letter on its right-hand side at the end of a joining sequence. It changes the displayed shape, not the word or letter identity.
What sound does Veh have?
Its sound depends on the writing tradition, not this final-form character.
Veh’s three dots were added to ف in Arabic-derived writing to represent sounds outside Arabic’s inherited set. Early New Persian manuscripts use the dotted form for a bilabial fricative, while Central Kurdish uses it for /v/. The cited Kurdish records include Khalidi’s dictionary from 1892 and the periodical Kurdistan from 1898–1902.
The same base letter ڤ represents /p/ in Malay Jawi. Some Arabic writing uses it for /v/ in foreign names and loanwords. Persian-script letters such as پ, چ, ژ, and گ show related adaptations that add dots to Arabic letter shapes.
Technical and typographic: this form marks a specific text-encoding need, not a conversational tone.
For ordinary Arabic-script text, use ڤ; text tools may normalize ﭫ to that base letter.

1why does ﭫ turn into ڤ
That is expected: compatibility normalization can map ﭫ to the nominal Veh letter ڤ. A text tool may therefore replace the explicit final-form character with the base letter.
