Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+A664 "Ꙥ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Soft El is a historical glyph from the Cyrillic script, used primarily in early Old Church Slavonic manuscripts to represent a palatalized or "soft" /l/ sound, distinguished from the standard hard El. This letter is part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block, which was added to the Unicode standard to support medieval and ecclesiastical texts, though it is no longer used in modern Slavic languages. Its lowercase counterpart is U+A665 "ꙥ", and it visually resembles a standard Cyrillic El with a diacritical mark or modified shape to indicate palatalization.
