Yes, and I see this in some scanned books before OCR got better.  A long
time ago, they had the complete stories of Sherlock Holmes online.  They
do now, but now the errors have been corrected.  For whatever reason, the
upper case I was replaced by the letter l, so that Doctor Watson often
would start a sentence with "l did something."  I got used to it, but
found it odd.  Also, as NLS in the US goes through the old analog books
and converts them, I see the letter "l" in place of the number 1 in the
annotations, like "l981."
