U+10A81 "𐪁" Old North Arabian Letter Lam Unicode Character

U+10A81 "𐪁" Old North Arabian Letter Lam is a glyph from the Old North Arabian script, an ancient Semitic abjad used in the Arabian Peninsula from roughly the 8th to the 6th century BCE. This character specifically represents the consonant sound /l/, analogous to the Latin letter 'L', and was employed in inscriptions and rock art by various nomadic and settled peoples of the region. The script, which is closely related to South Arabian and ultimately descends from the Proto-Sinaitic writing system, was added to the Unicode Standard in 2014 as part of version 7.0 to facilitate the digital preservation and study of these ancient texts.
