Source: Browser Default
U+1053E "𐔾" Caucasian Albanian Letter Lan is a character from the Caucasian Albanian script, an ancient alphabet historically used to write the Caucasian Albanian language, which was spoken in the region of modern-day Azerbaijan and Dagestan. This specific letter represents the sound "l" and is part of a 52 letter alphabet believed to have been created in the 5th century AD by the Armenian monk Mesrop Mashtots. The Caucasian Albanian script was largely forgotten for centuries until its rediscovery in the 20th century through surviving manuscripts and inscriptions, leading to its inclusion in the Unicode Standard to support digital representation and study of this historical writing system.
