U+0B0C "ଌ" Oriya Letter Vocalic L Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ଌ
U+0B0C "ଌ" Oriya Letter Vocalic L is a distinct glyph in the Oriya script, used primarily to represent the vocalic or syllabic consonant sound roughly equivalent to a short "l" pronounced as a vowel, as in the Sanskrit-derived lexicon. This character belongs to the Oriya block of Unicode and is a less common but linguistically significant letter, often appearing in transliterations of ancient texts or in words borrowed from Sanskrit. Its proper representation requires a font that supports the complex shaping of the Oriya script, ensuring the correct visual appearance of the vocalic diacritic that distinguishes it from the regular consonant "L".
