The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

Bet, Beth, Beh, or Vet is the second letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician bΔ“t 𐀁 , Hebrew bΔ“t Χ‘, Aramaic bΔ“αΉ― 𐑁, Syriac bΔ“αΉ― ά’, and Arabic bāʾ Ψ¨. Its sound value is the voiced bilabial stop ⟨b⟩ or the voiced labiodental fricative ⟨v⟩.

The letter's name means "house" in various Semitic languages (Arabic bayt, Akkadian bΔ«tu, bΔ“tu, Hebrew: bayΔ«αΉ―, Phoenician bΔ“t 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).
