U+1170E "𑜎" Ahom Letter La Unicode Character

U+1170E "𑜎" Ahom Letter La is a glyph representing the sound /l/ in the Ahom script, an abugida historically used to write the Ahom language, a now extinct Tai language once spoken in the Brahmaputra Valley of present-day Assam, India. This specific letter, called La, is one of the basic consonants in the script, which was employed for recording religious texts, chronicles, and legal documents from the 13th to the 19th centuries. As part of the Ahom block in Unicode, it supports the digital preservation and scholarly study of this ancient writing system, enabling modern representation of texts that were previously only available in physical manuscripts.
