U+119C9 "𑧉" Nandinagari Letter La is a symbol used to represent the consonant "la" in the Nandinagari script, a historical abugida primarily employed in southern India and parts of Sri Lanka to write Sanskrit, Kannada, and other languages before being largely supplanted by modern scripts. This character belongs to the Nandinagari block, which was added to Unicode in version 12.0 released in 2019 to preserve and facilitate the digital representation of this ancient script. Its visual form follows the typical structure of Nandinagari letters, featuring a curved horizontal headstroke and distinct angular elements that reflect the script's evolution from earlier Brahmi-derived systems, and it is intended for use in historical and scholarly contexts where accurate textual reproduction is needed.
