Symbol

ℶ (English symbol name beth)

1. (set theory) Symbol for the cardinality of an infinite set in a iterative hierarchy of power sets, starting with ℵ₀. Usually indexed by an ordinal number.

   $(2)+\eth \beth _{0}=\aleph _{0}$, $\beth _{\alpha +1}=2^{\beth _{\alpha }},$ and $\lim {\beth _{\lambda }\to \sup\{\beth _{\alpha }:\alpha <\lambda \}}$ for a limit ordinal λ.

Usage notes

Unicode has two code points for the Hebrew letter beth. For normal Hebrew text, U+05D1 ב should be used. U+2136 should be used for the mathematical symbol in Latin-script text because it will share the left-to-right direction of that text.
