Good guess, Jay. I'll bet you're right, too.

I suspect British phonetics are at work here, the symbol being the Greek
letter beta (American pronunciation "bayta", British pronunciation
"beeta").
The symbol is ß (Unicode character 03B2, or the letter b formatted in
Symbol
font).

Doesn't ring a bell here, either, though "beadle" and "betel" would
be other possibilities. A Google search for "beetle symbol" brings up
some strange hits. The VW Beetle emblem is a possibility. But there's
also a video game that uses "beetle symbols." The scarab (symbolic
dung beetle) is a symbol of immortality.

My native language is English and I don't know what it might be.

Hi, I just heard someone mentioned a symbol named "beetle" or
"beatle" (or some other kind of spelling of that sound).
Does anyone know if there is a symbol called that and if so, how it
looks like? My native language isn't english so I haven't heard
this symbol before.
Thanks in advance
Niklas
