U+04C6 "ӆ" Cyrillic Small Letter El with Tail Unicode Character

U+04C6 "ӆ" Cyrillic Small Letter El with Tail is a variant of the Cyrillic letter El that has been used historically in the Khanty language, where it represented a specific palatalized or soft "l" sound distinct from the standard El. This character is part of the Cyrillic Extended-A block and is formed by adding a short tail to the bottom of the standard Cyrillic Small Letter El, helping linguists and typographers accurately render Khanty orthography. Today, the character is primarily of interest to scholars studying minority languages and to those maintaining digital text standards for Cyrillic script variants.
