Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+0AB3 "ળ" Gujarati Letter Lla is a consonant used in the Gujarati script, representing a retroflex lateral approximant sound that is unique to languages like Gujarati and occasionally in Sindhi. This character is distinct from the regular "લ" (la) because it is pronounced with the tongue curled back further in the mouth, touching the palate. In the Unicode standard, it belongs to the Gujarati block (U+0A80 to U+0AFF) and is encoded for use in digital text to preserve the phonetic and orthographic accuracy of written Gujarati, appearing in words like "બળ" (power) or "તળાવ" (pond).
