Similar symbols

Lowercase "l" is similar to

• uppercase "I" (particularly when uppercase "I" is rendered in unadorned fonts),
• the numeral 1 (particularly when lowercase "l" is rendered in adorned fonts or when both are rendered in unadorned fonts),
• and the dividing line, "|".

(Among popular fonts, lowercase "l" is most homoglyphic with uppercase "I" when both are rendered in unadorned fonts.)
