Source: Browser Default
U+0D7D "ൽ" Malayalam Letter Chillu L is a special character representing a pure consonant form unique to the Malayalam script, known as a "chillu," which is used to write a standalone or vowelless "l" sound that does not require an inherent vowel or a virama sign. This character appears primarily in word-final positions or in certain grammatical contexts, often derived from historical consonant clusters, and it helps maintain the phonetic and orthographic clarity of the language. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper digital representation, text rendering, and data interchange for modern Malayalam writing.
