I've looked through The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List and the TIPA manual, but I can't find the Polish 'l' (in Unicode: ł ).

Hi beoram,

you could use the ł directly within your code if you load inputenc. Try this example:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
Polish: Ł ł
\end{document}

If you are using Windows write latin1 instead of utf8 as option for inputenc.

Thanks, I'm not really sure about using Unicode in Latex.

But I did find that the commands

\l{} \L{}

produce the Polish ł Ł
