Unicode Version 17.0
לּ
U+FB3C "לּ" Hebrew Letter Lamed with Dagesh is a precomposed ligature representation of the Hebrew letter Lamed (ל) combined with a dagesh, a diacritical dot placed inside the letter to indicate a modification in its pronunciation, typically a hardening or gemination of the consonant. This character belongs to the Alphabetic Presentation Forms block of Unicode, which was encoded to support the visual rendering of certain Hebrew typographic conventions that may not be automatically formed by standard shaping processes. In modern Hebrew, the dagesh in the letter Lamed is often used to denote a plosive or stressed sound, contrasting with the letter’s fricative pronunciation in other contexts.
