ASCII Character л
Cyrillic small letter elEl (Л л; italics: Л л) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. El commonly represents the alveolar lateral approximant /l/. In Slavic languages it may be either palatalized or slightly velarized. In some typefaces the Cyrillic letter El has a grapheme which may be confused with the Cyrillic letter Pe (Пп). Note that Pe has a straight left leg, without the hook. An alternative form of El (Ʌ ʌ) is more common in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, and Serbian.
