Lowercase l at ASCII 108 is notoriously difficult to distinguish from the digit 1 (ASCII 49) and uppercase I (ASCII 73) in many proportional fonts. This ambiguity is a security concern in phishing URLs and a readability issue in source code, which is why monospace programming fonts give l a distinct shape with a tail or serif. In Unix, ls (list) is one of the most-used commands. CSS uses the l unit in the oklch() color function for lightness.
