U+A7B4 "Ꞵ" Latin Capital Letter Beta Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+A7B4 "Ꞵ" Latin Capital Letter Beta is a distinct glyph used primarily in certain African languages, such as some variations of the Gbaya language, where it represents a voiced bilabial fricative sound, similar to the English "v" but pronounced with both lips. Despite sharing its name with the Greek letter beta, this character is part of the Latin script and was added to Unicode to support phonetic transcription and orthographic needs in African linguistics. Its design resembles an uppercase "B" with a closed or rounded top, distinguishing it graphically from the standard Latin B and the Greek beta.
