    I've just noticed that the "script l" character (U+2113) is one of only
    two apparently mandatory characters (the other being "estimated" U+212E)
    included in addition to the MacOS Roman character set in a collection of
    recently released Linotype fonts.

    Is there any other common usage for U+2113 apart from as the liter/litre
    symbol that would explain its apparently mandatory inclusion in these
    fonts?

    Also, does this symbol usually occur in only one style/weight, namely
    italic regular? Or does it also appear in upright regular, upright bold,
    and italic bold depending on the typographic context?
