This specific character represents the voiced bilabial sound /b/ and corresponds to the second letter of the Manichaean alphabet, derived from the Aramaic letter beth. The script itself is written from right to left and is closely related to other Aramaic-based writing systems, and this letter appears in Manichaean manuscripts, often found in religious texts discovered in Central Asia, particularly along the Silk Road.
