The Left-to-Right (L) bidi class is assigned to characters that are written from left to right.

This character belongs to the Tagalog block. The Tagalog block includes characters used in the ancient Tagalog script, also known as Baybayin, which was used in the Philippines before Spanish colonization. The Tagalog script is an abugida, where each consonant is written with an inherent vowel sound that can be modified by adding diacritical marks. This block contains characters for all the basic syllables, as well as a few punctuation marks. While the Tagalog script was largely replaced by the Latin alphabet during the colonial period, it remains a symbol of Filipino identity and is studied and revived in cultural contexts today..
