Unicode Version 17.0
ླྀ
U+0F78 "ླྀ" Tibetan Vowel Sign Vocalic L is a diacritical mark used in the Tibetan script to indicate a vocalic or syllabic L sound, functioning as a vowel modifier that transforms a consonant into a syllabic form. This sign is part of the Tibetan block of Unicode and is employed in certain transliterations and phonetic representations of Sanskrit or classical Tibetan texts where a vowel is pronounced as a distinct syllable rather than a consonant cluster. Its presence alters the pronunciation and grammatical role of the base character, contributing to the accurate rendering of liturgical or scholarly writings.
