History
Ve and the Cyrillic letter Be (Б б) were both derived from the Greek letter Beta (Β β), which already represented /v/ in Greek by the time the Cyrillic alphabet was created.
In the Early Cyrillic alphabet its name was вѣдѣ (vědě), meaning "I know".
In the Cyrillic numeral system, Ve had the value of 2.
