  1. Originally, the only symbol for the liter was l (lowercase letter L), following the SI convention that only those unit symbols that abbreviate the name of a person start with a capital letter.

Normally, an uppercase letter would not be used in SI as this practice is reserved for those units which arise from surnames, for example "J", Joule, "N" Newton. Due to problems with fonts and confusion with the numeral "1" the upper case letter is used, as is the cursive as suggested above. The word's official spelling is, however, "litre" (International Bureau of Weights and Measures) which is consistent with the word's etymology and only the US uses the illogical spelling "liter", most likely as an extension of Webster's "reforms" which changed theatre etc.
