Anto'nio Martins-Tuva'lkin a �crit :
Did you get an answer on this ? Why is there no decomposition associated to this character ?However I advise removal of the note "Catalan" under U+0140 and U+013F, and perhaps replacement of the whole note with �for Catalan use U+006C U+00B7� (resp. U+004C).
Also did somewhat mention why U+0140 is even in Unicode since it could be considered (by ignorami like me) as a precomposed character (l + middle dot) ? Is it due to the polysemy of the middle dot ?
[PA] In the meantime Eric Muller forwarded some answers (dating back from 6/8/2002) where Ken explains this all. Thank you Eric.

There is no particular reason to use the l� as a single character, when all the 8859-based and Windows 1252 implementations would be using U+00B7 for the middle dot.
Consider U+0140 as effectively a compatibility character for ISO 6937. It is mapped to 0xF7 in that standard. It is also mapped to 0xA9A8 in Code Page 949 (Korean) -- which probably got it from ISO 6937 in the first place.
Is U+0140 used in other languages?
Not that I know of.
