WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
Bet and Kaf
Bet and Kaf can look similar because both open toward the left. Bet is generally more squared, especially at its lower right corner, while Kaf is more rounded. Both can also appear with an internal dagesh, so the base shape must be learned independently of the dot.
