more...
750 mL (milliliters) or

The capital
L
was chosen as the symbol for
the derived base unit liter.
Before recent technology came along it became further confusing to write "1l" (lower case
"el"). The "1" and "l" (el)
looked too similar as did the capital "I" (eye).
So the capital L
was chosen as the symbol for
the derived base unit liter.
That is the only exception.
