When ॡ (long vocalic l) attaches to a consonant, its matra is ॣ — written below the consonant.
Note: ॡ and ॣ are the rarest vowels in the Devanagari system, found only in specialised Sanskrit texts. Modern Hindi does not use them in everyday writing.
How it looks: क + ॣ = कॣ (teaching form 'kluu')
Comparison: - ॢ (short ऌ matra) — rarer vocalic l - ॣ (long ॡ matra) — rarest vocalic l, held longer
ॡ (ॡ) is the long form of ऌ. Write it like ऌ with an extended subscript loop.
Practice tracing the character with attention to stroke direction and order.
