U+AB37 "ꬷ" Latin Small Letter L with Inverted Lazy S Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꬷ
U+AB37 "ꬷ" Latin Small Letter L with Inverted Lazy S is a specialized orthographic symbol used in certain phonetic or linguistic transcription systems, particularly within the context of medieval or dialectal studies. Its design combines a lowercase Latin L with an inverted lazy S shape attached to its right side, which likely represents a distinct speech sound, such as a lateral fricative or a modified l-sound not captured by standard Latin letters. This character belongs to the Latin Extended-E block, a range codified to support lesser-known historical or scholarly alphabets. Its use helps linguists and paleographers accurately record and analyze phonetic nuances found in older or regional languages without relying on ad hoc diacritics.
