Ɓ



(minuscule: ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from B with the addition of a hook. It is used in the International Phonetic Alphabet and in some African languages, such as Fula and Hausa, to represent a voiced bilabial implosive. It was also formerly used in Xhosa and Zulu.
In Unicode, the upper case is in the Latin Extended B range (U+0181), and the lower case is in the IPA range (U+0253).

Its uppercase form can appear as a capital B with a hook to the left, or it can look similar to the Cyrillic letter be (Б).
