Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+0139 "Ĺ" Latin Capital Letter L with Acute is a precomposed letter used in several languages, most notably in Slovak and some other Slavic languages, where the acute accent indicates a palatalized or softened pronunciation of the L sound, similar to the "ly" sound in "million." It is part of the Latin Extended-A block and typically appears in uppercase, with its lowercase counterpart being U+013A "ĺ". This character is distinct from a plain L followed by a combining acute accent, as it is encoded as a single atomic unit for compatibility and ease of use in digital text processing.
