Bet, with the dot, is bet. Without the dot, it is vet. They have the same meanings with or without the dot… unless you’re a Kabbalist. If the letter is preceeded by a vowel, it is vet. If it’s at the end of a word, it is vet. If it’s at the beginning or a word, it is bet. Both are feminine.
everything is purposefully ambiguous. The alphabet is extremely contextual.
(ps– the numbers all have numerical values…) Bet = 2.
