U+10929 "𐤩" Lydian Letter L Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐤩
U+10929 "𐤩" Lydian Letter L is a glyph from the Lydian script, an ancient alphabet used to write the Lydian language spoken in the region of Lydia in western Anatolia during the first millennium BCE. This specific character represents the sound /l/ and belongs to the Lydian block of Unicode, which was added to the standard in version 5.1 released in 2008. The Lydian alphabet is closely related to the Greek and Phrygian scripts, and it was written from right to left, primarily in inscriptions carved on stone or metal. Deciphering the Lydian script has helped scholars understand the cultural and linguistic connections of the Lydian people, though the language itself remains incompletely understood.
