Editing Litre (section)

=== Script l and Unicode {{anchor|Unicode}} ===
Prior to 1979, the symbol {{Litre}} came into common use in some countries;{{citation needed|date=September 2019}} for example, it was recommended by [[South African Bureau of Standards]] publication M33 and Canada in the 1970s. This symbol can still be encountered occasionally in some English-speaking and European countries, and its use is ubiquitous in Japan and South Korea.{{citation needed|date=February 2025}}

Fonts covering the [[CJK characters]] usually include not only the script small {{Litre}} but also four precomposed characters: {{not a typo|㎕, ㎖, ㎗, and ㎘}} for the microlitre, millilitre, decilitre and kilolitre to allow correct rendering for vertically written scripts. These have [[Unicode]] equivalents for compatibility, which are not recommended for use with new documents:<ref name="Unicode-U3300">{{cite web |url=https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U3300.pdf |access-date=24 May 2019 |title=The Unicode Standard 12.0 – CJK Compatibility ❰ Range: 3300—33FF ❱ |author=Unicode Consortium |author-link=Unicode Consortium |date=2019 |website=Unicode.org}}</ref>
