Fix: Greek beta β and German eszett ß look similar but are different characters. Beta has a loop at the bottom; eszett does not.

⚠️

Mistake: Using B instead of β for beta in scientific notation

Fix: Use β (beta) for beta particles, beta coefficients, and beta functions. The capital B is not a substitute in formal notation.
