Latin Capital Letter B With Line Below Letter Meaning
Ḇ (U+1E06) is a Latin capital “B” letter augmented with a line below. Because it has a specific Unicode identity, it’s most relevant when you’re working with writing systems, transcription standards, or fonts that require an exact character rather than a generic “B” plus styling. In practice, you’ll usually encounter it in encoded text where the line below is meaningful, or in typographic layouts that must reproduce the character precisely. If you’re using it in your own content, treat it as an actual letter (not markup) so it copies correctly across apps and renders consistently when the font supports it.
Common uses
- •Copying exact text from documents or datasets that contain U+1E06
