U+10901 was added in Unicode version 5.0 in 2006. It belongs to the block
This character is a Other Letter and is mainly used in the Phoenician script.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Bet, Beth, Beh, or Vet is the second letter of the Semitic abjads, including Arabic bΔΚΎ Ψ¨β, Aramaic bΔαΉ― π‘, Hebrew bΔt Χβ, Phoenician bΔt π€, and Syriac bΔαΉ― ά. Its sound value is the voiced bilabial stop β¨bβ© or the voiced labiodental fricative β¨vβ©.
The letter's name means "house" in various Semitic languages (Arabic bayt, Akkadian bΔ«tu, bΔtu, Hebrew: bayΔ«αΉ―, Phoenician bΔt etc.; ultimately all from Proto-Semitic *bayt-), and appears to derive from an Egyptian hieroglyph of a house by acrophony.
The Phoenician letter gave rise to, among others, the Greek beta (Ξ, Ξ²), Latin B (B, b) and Cyrillic Be (Π, Π±) and Ve (Π, Π²).
