Looks like a small elongated letter b. If at the begining of a song, right after the staff, it means all of those designated notes are flats. If after just one note in a song, it means only that note is a flat.

The musical symbol for flat resembles a small letter b. The symbol for sharp resembles the number sign on the keyboard. Either a flat symbol or sharp symbol can be used to indicate that change in pitch of the note is required.

It isn't a letter "b," it's a flat symbol. Likewise, the sharp isn't a hashtag.

What does flat mean in music terms?

A flat is a symbol at the beginning of the staff which indicates the names of the lines and spaces where the note is intended to be a half step lower than the line would otherwise indicate. A sharp would be half a step higher than the line would indicate. For instance, if your register has a flat symbol on the line that indicates a B should be played it means that the composer intended the note to be 1/2 step lower than the pitch perfect B, in other words the composer wanted a B flat played, not a B. when someone is flat in music it means they're singing in a lower pitch than they are supposed to
