ࠋ
U+080B "ࠋ" Samaritan Letter Labat is a character from the Samaritan script, an ancient alphabet used primarily by the Samaritan community for writing religious texts, including the Samaritan Torah. This letter corresponds to the sound "l," similar to the English "L," and is part of a writing system that has its roots in the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet, used from around the 10th century BCE. The Samaritan script is distinct from the modern Hebrew alphabet and is preserved today mainly in liturgical contexts, with the Labat representing the twelfth letter in that alphabet's order.
