U+0513 "ԓ" Cyrillic Small Letter El with Hook Unicode Character

U+0513 "ԓ" Cyrillic Small Letter El with Hook is a lowercase letter used in the Cyrillic script, specifically representing a voiced alveolar lateral fricative sound, which is similar to the "lh" sound found in certain languages. This character is primarily employed in the writing systems of several minority languages in Russia, such as Abaza, Adyghe, and Kabardian, where it serves as a distinct letter in their alphabets. Its uppercase counterpart is U+0512, and it may appear in historical or modern orthographies alongside other modified Cyrillic forms to represent phonemes not covered by standard Russian letters. The hook element distinguishes it from the basic Cyrillic El (л) by indicating a specific phonetic articulation.
