Arucard303 is absolutely correct. Kanji-wise, it's the same character, but remember 3, 6 and 8 are your changers. B comes before P and 3 is the smallest digit of the changers, so 3/6/8 = B/P/P. Although, if you look: さんびゃく「三百」、ろっぴゃく「六百」、はっぴゃく「八百」。Notice the Kanji doesn't change, just the pronunciation. がんばって!
