U+FB25 "ﬥ" Hebrew Letter Wide Lamed Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﬥ
U+FB25 "ﬥ" Hebrew Letter Wide Lamed is a typographic variant of the standard Hebrew letter Lamed (ל), designed with an expanded horizontal stroke to create a wider visual presence for use in justified text or special calligraphic contexts. This character belongs to the Unicode block for Alphabetic Presentation Forms, which contains ligatures and stylistic alternates for various scripts, and it is intended primarily for compatibility with older digital fonts and printed texts where such width variations were employed. Its usage is rare in modern Hebrew writing, as standard Unicode encoding typically relies on the regular Lamed character for most purposes.
