Unicode Version 17.0
ð›°—
U+1BC17 "ð›°—" Duployan Letter Lh is a specific glyph used within the Duployan shorthand script, which was developed in the late 19th century for rapid writing of various languages including English, French, and several Indigenous languages of North America. This character represents the sound typically rendered as "Lh," indicating a voiceless lateral fricative or a similar breathy L sound distinct from the standard L. As part of the Duployan block encoded in Unicode 7.0 in 2014, it helps preserve and digitally represent a historically important writing system.
