It is ?\u2122.

There is no Unicode character yet, but since a new glyph is gaining
popularity, we can expect a codepoint for it in next Unicode versions
(BTW, a new glyph is very similar to the glyph I designed many years ago).

And the Hryvnia sign was already added to Unicode in 2004, it is ?\u20B4.

No Unicode character, and never will be I guess.

Is it more correct to write with a period as "л." and "с.", or even "лв."?

Yes, it is.
