Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+A665 "ꙥ" Cyrillic Small Letter Soft El is a rarely used glyph from the historic Cyrillic script, specifically designed to represent a palatalized or "soft" /l/ sound in certain Old Church Slavonic or early Slavic texts. This letter, encoded within the Cyrillic Extended-B block, features a distinct diacritical stroke to indicate palatalization, distinguishing it from the standard Cyrillic letter El (Л л). It is of primary interest to paleographers, linguists, and scholars reconstructing or analyzing medieval Slavic manuscripts, where it appears in specialized contexts but is not part of any modern Cyrillic alphabet.
