Source: Noto Sans Source: Browser Default

U+212C "" Script Capital B is a typographic symbol representing a decorative, calligraphic uppercase B, typically used in mathematical notation to denote a specific set or space, such as the Bernard space or certain algebraic structures in functional analysis and logic. It belongs to the Letterlike Symbols block of Unicode, distinguishing it from a regular Latin capital B, and its design often features looping flourishes that give it a handwritten script appearance. This character is sometimes included in formal academic writing to add clarity or stylistic emphasis, especially when ordinary Latin letters are already heavily used for other variables.
