U+1C6E "ᱮ" Ol Chiki Letter Le is a character from the Ol Chiki alphabet, which was specifically created for writing the Santali language, an Austroasiatic language spoken by millions of people primarily in eastern India. This letter represents the consonant sound "le" and is part of a script invented by Pandit Raghunath Murmu in the 20th century to preserve and promote Santali culture and literacy. The Ol Chiki script differs from other Indian scripts as it is an alphabetic system written from left to right, and it was added to the Unicode Standard to support digital communication and text processing for Santali speakers worldwide.
