Issue with Serbian Cyrillic љ #879

Description

U+0459 (Serbian Cyrillic љ) has an overweight central stem

The Serbian Cyrillic letter љ (U+0459) currently appears to be built from overlapping л (U+043B) and ь (U+044C) components. Because the components are shifted relative to each other, their vertical stems overlap and produce a central stem that is significantly thicker than the standard stem width.

In Serbian Cyrillic, the central stem of љ should have the same thickness as the stem of н (U+043D). The current construction results in an overweight stem and a noticeable inconsistency in stroke weight.

This issue affects only the lowercase glyph љ (U+0459). The uppercase counterpart Љ (U+0409) appears to be drawn correctly and does not exhibit this problem.
