Crossed out B (majuscule: B̵, minuscule: b̵) is letter of the Latin alphabet formed by addition of the bar through the letter B. It is used in Northern Embera[1][2] and Pilagá languages.[3]
Usage[edit]
The orthography of Northern Embera language used in Panama, the letter represents the voiced bilabial implosive ([ɓ]) sound. In contrast, the orthography of the language used in Colombia, replaces the letter with Ɓ.[1][2] It is also used in Pilagá language.[3]
The lower case letter was also used as a phonetic symbol, for example by William A. Smalley in his 1968 Manual of articulatory phonetics. In his work Smalley used the letter as a representation of the voiced bilabial fricative ([β]) sound.[4][5]
