El with descender (Ԯ ԯ; italics: Ԯ ԯ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.
El with descender is used in the Khanty language, where it represents the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative /ɬ/.
In Itelmen, El with descender (Ԯ ԯ) is used in some publications instead of El with hook, the nineteenth letter of the Itelmen alphabet, introduced with the new Cyrillic alphabet during 1984–1988. These letters also represent /ɬ/.[1]
Up to the release of Ԯ in Unicode 7.0, the letters Ӆ or Ԓ have been used as an alternative to Ԯ (like Latin letter N with descender, Ꞑ ꞑ).[2]
