Usage

The letter used to appear in the Upper Sorbian and Lower Sorbian languages, where it represented the palatalizated voiced bilabial plosive /bʲ/. It was replaced by the digraph Bj.

It also appeared in Jan Kochanowski's 16th-century alphabet for Polish. In that alphabet, like in Upper and Lower Sorbian, the letter represented the phoneme /bʲ/.[1][2]
