ᱟ
U+1C5F "ᱟ" Ol Chiki Letter Laa is a character from the Ol Chiki script, which was specifically created in the early 20th century by Pandit Raghunath Murmu for writing the Santali language, primarily spoken by the Santal people in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan. This particular letter represents the sound "laa" and is integral to the script's alphabet, which is composed of distinct characters that are not derived from any other major writing system. The inclusion of Ol Chiki in Unicode helps preserve and digitally support the Santali language, enabling its use in modern technology and communication, thereby promoting cultural and linguistic diversity.
