Source: Browser Default
U+052E "Ԯ" Cyrillic Capital Letter El with Descender is a modified version of the standard Cyrillic letter El (Л), distinguished by a descender extending below the baseline, typically found in several minority languages of the Russian Federation. It represents a voiceless lateral fricative sound, often transcribed as [ɬ], which is common in languages such as Archi, Khinalug, and some other Northeast Caucasian languages. This character is part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block, added to the Unicode Standard to support the orthographic needs of these endangered languages and to preserve their written representation in digital text.
