===Litra symbol=== The [[Roman units|Roman]] {{lang|la|libra}} and [[Byzantine units|Byzantine]] {{lang|grc-x-medieval|lítra}} ({{lang|grc-x-medieval|λίτρα}}), which served as both the pound mass unit and liter volume unit, were abbreviated in Greek using lambda with modified forms of the [[iota subscript]] ⟨λͅ⟩. These are variously encoded in Unicode. The [[Ancient Greek Numbers (Unicode block)|Ancient Greek Numbers]] [[Unicode block]] includes 10183 {{sc|greek litra sign}} (𐆃) as well as 𐅢, which is described as 10162 {{sc|greek acrophonic hermionian ten}}<ref>[https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U10140.pdf Unicode Ancient Greek Numbers block].</ref> but was much more common as a form of the litra sign. A variant of the sign can be formed from 0338 {{sc|combining long solidus overlay}} and either 039B {{sc|greek capital letter lamda}} (Λ̸) or 03BB {{sc|greek small letter lamda}} (λ̸).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/encoding/BCM2010.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716030016/http://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/encoding/BCM2010.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-07-16 |title=Thesaurus Linguae Graecae |website=Stephanus.TLG.UCI.edu }}</ref>
