U+013B "Ļ" Latin Capital Letter L with Cedilla Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ļ
U+013B "Ļ" Latin Capital Letter L with Cedilla is a modified version of the standard Latin letter L, distinguished by a small cedilla mark (a hook-like diacritic) placed beneath the character. This letter is primarily used in several languages, including Latvian and some Native American languages, where it represents a palatalized or softened "l" sound, similar to the "l" in the English word "million." It is encoded in the Latin Extended-A block of Unicode to support orthographic needs beyond the basic Latin alphabet, ensuring proper digital representation and text processing for these linguistic systems.
