Greek alphabet

Beta (upper case Β, lower case β) is the 2nd letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 2. Beta should not be confused with a similar-looking but unrelated letter in German language orthography, ß, which denotes a long "s" sound.

The lower-case letter β is used as the symbol for:

The American pronunciation is "bA-ta" with a long "A" whereas the British pronunciation is "bE-ta" with a long "E" [1]. See: American and British English differences

Letters that arose from Beta include the Roman B and the Cyrillic letters Be and Ve.

The Chinese radical Fu (阝) looks almost identical but is unrelated.
