Segol is a symbol in Hebrew that is written below a letter and indicates an e vowel, as in bet. A variant is the hataf segol, and another e vowel, so to speak, is the tsere. The ba-shva, sometimes, is also transliterated as an e.
At the Westminster Lenignrad Codex website, you can see that the last vowel of Genesis 1:1 is a segol.
If the Hebrew renders correctly, here is a segol below a bet: בֶ.
