Upside Down L
A lowercase l looks the same when you turn it upside down.
The letter l is a single vertical stroke. Rotate it by 180 degrees and it is still a single vertical stroke, so the flipped letter is just l (U+006C). The word-level flip still matters, because the order of letters reverses: lolly becomes ʎllol. The capital L is different, since its foot swings round to the top, giving ⅂ (U+2142, Turned Sans-Serif Capital L).

Where you will see l
Because l is unchanged, the only reason to copy it is as part of a longer upside down word. In some sans-serif fonts an l can be mistaken for a capital I or the digit 1, which is a real nuisance for flipped usernames. If your name is mostly l letters, consider the capital ⅂ for a clearer shape.

Good to know
Why does this page look so similar to the plain letter?
Because for l, upside down and normal are the same glyph. The flipped result only looks different once the other letters in the word change.
