  • Transcribes Chakhar /b/;[10][11] Khalkha /p/, /w/, and /∅/.[12]: 40–42  Transliterated into Cyrillic with the letter б.[6][5]
  • For Classical Mongolian, Latin v is used only for transcribing foreign words, so most в (v) in Mongolian Cyrillic correspond to б (b) in Classical Mongolian.[citation needed]
  • Derived from Old Uyghur pe (𐽼).[3]: 539–540, 545–546 [13]: 111, 115 [14]: 35 
  • Produced with B using the Windows Mongolian keyboard layout.[15]
  • In the Mongolian Unicode block, b comes after ng and before p.
