U+10F0C "𐼌" Old Sogdian Letter Lamedh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10F0C "𐼌" Old Sogdian Letter Lamedh is a script character from the Old Sogdian alphabet, which was used to write the Sogdian language, an Eastern Iranian language spoken in Central Asia during the first millennium CE. This letter represents the sound /l/ and is derived from the Aramaic script's Lamedh, reflecting the widespread influence of Aramaic as a bureaucratic and cultural language along the Silk Road. The character was added to Unicode as part of the Old Sogdian block in version 11.0 in 2018, aiding scholars in the digital preservation of ancient texts from regions such as modern-day Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and western China. Its distinct, angled shape is typical of the cursive Sogdian script, which later evolved into the Uighur and Mongolian writing systems.
