U+0299 "ʙ" Latin Letter Small Capital B is a typographic symbol used primarily in phonetic transcription, specifically within the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent a voiced bilabial trill, a sound produced by vibrating both lips together. Its small capital design distinguishes it visually from the standard lowercase "b", allowing it to fit within phonetic contexts while maintaining a clear, uppercase-like appearance at a reduced size. Though rarer in everyday text, it appears in linguistic documentation and specialized notation for certain African and European languages that feature this trilled consonant.
