U+1C1E "ᰞ" Lepcha Letter Hla is a specific glyph from the Lepcha script, which is used to write the Lepcha language, primarily spoken in the Sikkim region of India. This character represents the syllable or sound "hla," where the initial consonant is the voiceless glottal fricative "h" followed by the liquid consonant "la."
