Unicode Version 17.0
ᷬ
U+1DEC "ᷬ" Combining Latin Small Letter L with Double Middle Tilde is a diacritical mark intended for use in historical or scholarly text encoding, specifically designed to be placed above a base Latin letter to indicate a modified pronunciation, often found in medieval manuscripts or phonetic transcription systems. It represents a small lowercase "l" combined with two horizontal tilde-like strokes through its middle, serving as a combining grapheme that attaches to the preceding character. This character belongs to the Combining Diacritical Marks Supplement block and is rarely used in modern digital text, but it provides a precise tool for representing specific linguistic or orthographic features in specialized digital corpora.
