Where โ„ฌ comes from

โ„ฌ is U+212C SCRIPT CAPITAL B. It has been in Unicode since version 1.1, in the Letterlike Symbols block. Unicode gives it the alias โ€œBernoulli functionโ€.

The Mathematical Script alphabet was added in Unicode 3.1. Its position for capital B, U+1D49D, is reserved and cross-referenced to โ„ฌ instead of holding a character of its own, so the Unicode data sends that position to โ„ฌ.

Because โ„ฌ sits in a different Unicode block from ๐’œ and ๐’ž (Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols), a font can design it separately, and how closely they match depends on the font. โ„ฌ takes one UTF-16 unit where ๐’œ takes two. The Mathematical Bold Script alphabet has no gap at this letter: ๐“‘ is U+1D4D1, in sequence with ๐“ and ๐“’.
