Be (Б, б) is the second letter in the Cyrillic alphabet. It represents /b/, a voiced bilabial plosive similar to the English pronunciation of b. In the Russian language, б may also represent a voiceless [p] word-finally or before a voiceless consonant, and /bʲ/ before a palatalizing vowel.
The old name for б was Buki. It had no numerical value. The letter в inherited beta's numeric value in the old system of Cyrillic numerals, so б had none.
It looks approximately like a figure 6, and should not be confused with the Cyrillic letter в (called ve), which is shaped like Latin capital letter B and indicates /v/, the voiced labiodental fricative. Both letters are derived from Greek beta. When hand-written, the lower-cased б may look like the lower-cased delta, δ.
