It represents the voiceless palato-alveolar affricate (/t͡ʃ/) in standard Eastern Armenian, and the voiced palato-alveolar affricate (/d͡ʒ/) in western varieties of Armenian. Created by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century, it has a numerical value of 100. Its shape is visually similar to the Cyrillic letter, Be (б).
