U+1D66 Greek Subscript Small Letter Beta

U+1D66 was added in Unicode version 4.0 in 2003. It belongs to the block U+1D00 to U+1D7F Phonetic Extensions in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Modifier Letter and is mainly used in the Greek script.

The glyph is a subscript version of the glyph Greek Small Letter Beta. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it is written from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+1D66 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

Unicode has subscripted and superscripted versions of a number of characters including a full set of Arabic numerals. These characters allow any polynomial, chemical and certain other equations to be represented in plain text without using any form of markup like HTML or TeX.
The World Wide Web Consortium and the Unicode Consortium have made recommendations on the choice between using markup and using superscript and subscript characters:

When used in mathematical context (MathML) it is recommended to consistently use style markup for superscripts and subscripts […] However, when super and sub-scripts are to reflect semantic distinctions, it is easier to work with these meanings encoded in text rather than markup, for example, in phonetic or phonemic transcription.
