This is the symbol...

It's like a uppercase and cursive l.
It is very close to the boondox calligraphic font:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{boondox-cal}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}%
$ \begin{array}[t]{c@{\quad}c}
\multicolumn{2}{l}{\mathbf{Boondox:}}\\
\verb+ \mathcal + & \verb+ \mathbcal + \\[6pt]
\mathcal{L l} & \mathbcal{L l}
\end{array} $
\end{document}
