U+A7DA "" Latin Capital Letter Lambda Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+A7DA "" Latin Capital Letter Lambda is a relatively recent addition to the Unicode standard, intended for use in historical and linguistic transliteration contexts where a distinct capital form of the Greek letter lambda is needed, particularly for representing ancient or medieval Latin script variants. This character was encoded in version 12.0 of the Unicode Standard in 2019 as part of the Latin Extended-D block, which houses pre-modern and specialized Latin letters. Its design resembles the Greek uppercase lambda but is styled to integrate with Latin text, distinguishing it from the standard Greek lambda used in modern Greek writing.
