be (cyrillic)

Be (Б, б) is the second letter in the Cyrillic alphabet. It is pronounced like English B (a voiced bilabial plosive). In the Russian language, at the end of a word or before a voiceless consonant, it is pronounced p. It looks approximately like a 6, and should not be confused with the Cyrillic letter Ve, which is shaped like Latin B but pronounced v. Both letters are derived from Greek beta. Be's old name is Buki. It had no numerical value.
