When ऌ (vocalic l) attaches to a consonant, its matra is ॢ — written below the consonant.
Note: ऌ and its matra ॢ are extremely rare and restricted to ancient Sanskrit grammar texts. They are included here for completeness. No common Hindi words use this vowel in everyday speech.
How it looks: क + ॢ = कॢ (teaching form 'klu')
Recognition tip: The shape of ॢ resembles ृ/ॄ but with a distinct lateral 'l' quality.
ऌ (ऌ) is a rare vocalic L sound. Write the base like ल (ल), then add the subscript loop below and to the right.
Practice tracing the character with attention to stroke direction and order.
