U+01C7 "LJ" Latin Capital Letter Lj Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+01C7 "LJ" Latin Capital Letter Lj is a special typographic ligature used primarily in writing systems for South Slavic languages such as Serbo-Croatian and Montenegrin, where it represents a single phonetic unit—the consonant cluster /lj/—as a distinct letter. This capitalized form appears at the beginning of words or in all-caps text, and it corresponds to the lowercase digraph "lj" and the titlecase version "Lj", which is used when only the first letter of the word is capitalized. The character is essential for correct orthography in languages that treat "Lj" as a single letter of the alphabet, and it is encoded in Unicode to preserve the distinct visual and alphabetical identity of the digraph.
