ASCII Character ב
Hebrew letter BetBet, Beth, Beh, or Vet is the second letter of the Semitic abjads, including the Hebrew alphabet. Its sound value is the voiced bilabial stop ⟨b⟩ or the voiced labiodental fricative ⟨v⟩. The letter's name means "house" in various Semitic languages (Arabic bayt, Akkadian bītu, bētu, Hebrew: bayiṯ, Phoenician bt etc.; ultimately all from Proto-Semitic *bayt-), and appears to derive from an Egyptian hieroglyph of a house by acrophony. In modern Hebrew the frequency of the usage of bet, out of all the letters, is 4.98%.
