U+1E902 "𞤂" Adlam Capital Letter Laam is a letter from the Adlam script, an alphabet created in the 1980s for writing the Fulani language (Fulfulde) primarily used in West Africa, such as in Guinea, Nigeria, and Senegal. This specific character represents the capital form of the consonant sound "L" in the Adlam writing system, which is written from right to left and features both uppercase and lowercase letters.
