How to distinguish between 1 and l in license plates?
1 Answers
In mainland China, there is no need to distinguish between the number 1 and the letter l in license plates for the following reasons: 1. According to Article 5.9.1 of the current Chinese motor vehicle license plate standard "GA36-2007", license plate numbers in mainland China do not include the letter l, only the number 1. Therefore, there is no need to distinguish between the number 1 and the letter l; any similar character should be uniformly recognized as the number 1. 2. According to regulations, each digit of the serial number can use English letters individually, but the letters o and I among the 26 letters are not allowed, so there is no issue of visual confusion.
