There are no character variants for l with a middle dot (U+0140) in 3.1.0.

@be5invis Can we get the dot moved somewhat to the right, even if it crosses the following character’s bounding box? In Catalan, it should be exactly centered between two ls, which is the only situation when this character occurs.

@throwaway571 A later modification is doing that, ensuring the dot will not collide with the bar.

@be5invis What about the three-character sequence l·l? The precomposed ŀ is a deprecated compatibility character in Unicode, and the recommended representation for the Catalan geminated l is l·l. Now, Catalan typographers insist that it should take up only two spaces, but I don’t like the disparity, especially because this is a code font.

@throwaway571 Iosevka's ligations will never change the space. Therefore l·l will be kept having 3 units.
