EDIT
Ben/Բեն is the second letter of Armenian alphabet. There are only few variations of its form. Merely the length of the horizontal stroke was varied. The oldest forms of it have an elongated horizontal stroke with a small descender at its end.
The form of Capital Letter Ben witnessed between 10th -13th Centuries is slanted to the right. The arc is less marked, quite horizontal and ends with a small descender. Ben is pronounced in western Armenian as [pʰɛn] / [pʰ], and in classical / eastern Armenian as Latin B. The numerical value of Ben is 2. The biblical Name of ben is Բովանդակ/Content.
