B with stroke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
B with stroke (majuscule: Ƀ, minuscule: ƀ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from B with the addition of a bar, which can be through either the ascender or the bowl. It is used as a phonetic symbol representing a voiced bilabial fricative (IPA equivalent: β).
It is also a letter of the alphabets of the Jarai and Katu languages of Vietnam, and is used in standardized texts in Old Saxon as well as in reconstructed forms of Proto-Germanic
[edit] Unicode
The minuscule form has been present in Unicode since version 1 (1991), but the majuscule form was not added until version 5 (2006).
