Recently, I tried iOS 10 public beta in my iPhone 6, but I am confused by the lock screen, see the picture, my question is what the number 33 means in my lock screen?
Update: In the new version of iOS 10 public beta 2, this confusion is no longer existed.
I'm including the ones mentioned in your answer in the name of having a complete listing in one place.
Activate Siri to make calls, send text messages, send emails, get directions, check calendars, etc. by holding down the home button. Configurable in Settings-> General-> Passcode Lock. iPhone 4S only.
Take a screenshot by pressing the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time.
The "o" means that you're on a 2G network. In Verizon's case, that would be 1xRTT. If you see it on an AT&T device, that means you're on GPRS.
Here's a screenshot from the iPad User Guide detailing what the various signal indicators mean:
"3G" means exactly the same thing on the 1st generation iPad as it does on the 3rd generation iPad. However, if you have AT&T, the 3rd generation iPad reports HSDPA+ as "4G". Since the 1st generation iPad is incapable of using HSDPA+, you will only ever see 3G or below on that device.

Note: This was an issue in early betas of iOS 10. The correct string in Chinese characters is displayed in Developer Beta 3/Public Beta 2.
Original Content:
The number is the current "year" in the current cycle of the Chinese Sexagenary Cycle.
Year 33 of the current cycle corresponds to
丙申in the Stem-Branch system, which is displayed when the date is displayed in the Calendar application (both iOS and OS X/macOS).General formula for converting years 4 AD/CE and later is
floor(western year - 3)/60), whereflooris equivalent to taking only the part in front of the decimal.Example:
floor((2016-3)/60) = floor(2013/60) = floor(33.55) = 33See the link for more details on the system.
In iOS, previous versions may have displayed the long string which can be seen when opening the Day view of the Calendar app.
To enable/disable this display, go to
Calendar > Alternate Calendarsin the Settings app.
