[edit] Noun

litre (plural litres)

1. (British) The metric unit of fluid measure, equal to one cubic decimetre. Symbols: l, L, ℓ

[edit] Usage notes

• The litre is not an SI unit but is accepted for use with SI units. The official SI symbols are the capital or lower-case roman L. The script symbol ℓ, while not officially sanctioned, was sometimes used in non-technical contexts to prevent the lower-case roman l from being confused with 1, the number one.
