U+1C5E "ᱞ" Ol Chiki Letter Al Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᱞ
U+1C5E "ᱞ" Ol Chiki Letter Al is the final letter in the Ol Chiki script, which was specifically created in the early 20th century by Pandit Raghunath Murmu for writing the Santali language, an Austroasiatic language spoken primarily in eastern India. This letter represents the sound "l" and is an integral part of the Ol Chiki alphabet, which features unique graphical forms inspired by natural shapes and human postures rather than being derived from other scripts. Its inclusion in Unicode since version 5.1 has enabled digital representation and preservation of Santali literature, culture, and communication in modern technology.
