U+10F39 "𐼹" Sogdian Letter Lamedh is a grapheme from the Sogdian script, an ancient writing system used for the Sogdian language, an Eastern Iranian language spoken in Central Asia along the Silk Road. This character represents the consonant sound equivalent to the Semitic letter Lamedh, which corresponds to the modern English "L" sound. It belongs to the Sogdian block of the Unicode Standard, encoded to preserve and facilitate digital representation of historical texts, including religious, commercial, and literary manuscripts from the 4th to 11th centuries. The Sogdian script itself derived from the Aramaic alphabet and was written in both a formal and a cursive form, with the Lamedh character reflecting its distinct calligraphic style that influenced later scripts such as Uyghur and Mongolian.
