U+10A61 "𐩡" Old South Arabian Letter Lamedh Unicode Character

U+10A61 "𐩡" Old South Arabian Letter Lamedh is a glyph from the Old South Arabian script, an ancient abjad used to write the languages of the Sabaean, Minaean, Qatabanian, and Hadramautic civilizations in the southern Arabian Peninsula from around the 9th century BCE to the 6th century CE. This particular letter represents the sound /l/ and is derived from the corresponding Proto-Sinaitic or Phoenician character for "lamedh," which likely originates from an earlier pictographic symbol for a goad or staff. Inscribing monumental texts, religious dedications, and royal chronicles on stone or bronze, the script was written from right to left, and "𐩡" is the twelfth letter in the Old South Arabian alphabet, reflecting the cultural and linguistic heritage of pre-Islamic Yemen.
