[[File:Latin digraph L with middle dot L.svg|thumb|Latin Ll digraph with middle dot]]
In order to not confuse {{angbr|ll}} {{IPA|/ʎ/}} with a [[gemination|geminated]] {{angbr|l}} {{IPA|/ll/}}, Catalan uses a middle dot ([[interpunct]] or {{lang|ca|punt volat}} in Catalan) in between  {{angbr|ŀl}}. For example {{lang|ca|exceŀlent}} ("excellent"). The first character in the digraph, {{angbr|Ŀ}} and {{angbr|ŀ}}, is included in the [[Latin Extended-A]] Unicode block at U+013F (uppercase) and U+0140 (lowercase) respectively.

In Catalan typography, {{angbr|ŀl}} is intended to fill two spaces, not three,<ref name="Rafel1984">{{Cite book|first=Fabra |last=Pompeu |chapter=Conversa 323, del 22.01.1923, i Conversa 391, del 13.06.1923 |language=ca|url=http://femfum.com/PDF/ElaGeminada/PF_CF_323_391.pdf |editor=Joaquim Rafel i Fontanals |title=Converses Filològiques Volum II |access-date=29 December 2012 |publisher=Fundació Enciclopèdia Catalana |location=Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain |date=September 1984 |isbn=84-350-5111-0 }}</ref> so the interpunct is placed in the narrow space between the two {{angbr|l}}s: {{angbr|ĿL}} and {{angbr|ŀl}}. However, it is common to write {{angbr|L·L}} and {{angbr|l·l}}, occupying three spaces. {{angbr|L.L}} and {{angbr|l.l}}, although sometimes seen, are incorrect.
