Łacińska mała litera B b

Latin Small Letter B b. Such lowercase Latin letters appeared in the Middle Ages from the so-called „minuscule script”, which was used to save expensive parchment.

In Cyrillic script, people used to save space between letters in a different way. They would write letters above other letters and pick cheaper materials like birch bark. Minuscule letters were not widely used, which is why, for example, Russian writing seemed to consist only of capital letters. As for people from other cultures, it's necessary to mention that Bulgarians and Serbs borrowed some typographic traditions from the West, so their script is closer to the Latin script.
