The Latin lowercase letters "l" and "b" combined into one symbol with a line are commonly called a "libra." It’s a multifaceted symbol that is most commonly used to denote a pound. Sometimes you may come across it in descriptions of ancient Roman weight measures too. People believe that this symbol appeared as an abbreviation of the word "libra" (meaning "scales" in Latin).
