U+10B81 "𐮁" Psalter Pahlavi Letter Beth is a script symbol from the Psalter Pahlavi alphabet, which was historically used to write Middle Persian, particularly in liturgical and religious manuscripts like the Psalms. This character represents the consonant sound "b" and corresponds to the second letter (Beth) in the Semitic-derived order of the Pahlavi script.
