U+10A2B "𐨫" Kharoshthi Letter La is a script symbol used in the ancient Kharoshthi writing system, which was employed primarily in the regions of present-day Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia from around the 3rd century BCE to the 4th century CE. This character represents the consonant sound "la" and is part of a larger abugida, where each consonant carries an inherent vowel that can be modified with diacritical marks. Kharoshthi was written from right to left and is notable for its use in early Buddhist texts, such as the Gandharan manuscripts, as well as in inscriptions and coins from the Indo-Greek and Kushan periods.
