U+0509 "ԉ" Cyrillic Small Letter Komi Lje Unicode Character

U+0509 "ԉ" Cyrillic Small Letter Komi Lje is a letter used in the old Komi Cyrillic alphabet, where it represented a palatalized lateral sound similar to the "lj" combination. This character is composed of a Cyrillic Л (El) combined with a soft sign or a descender, distinguishing it from other Cyrillic letters. It was historically employed in writing the Komi language, particularly in early 20th century orthographies before being replaced by modern standard Cyrillic letters. Today, it is rarely used but remains part of the Unicode standard to support historical texts and linguistic documentation of the Komi language.
