Where โ„› comes from

โ„› is U+211B SCRIPT CAPITAL R. It has been in Unicode since version 1.1, in the Letterlike Symbols block. Unicode gives it the alias โ€œRiemann Integralโ€.

The Mathematical Script alphabet was added in Unicode 3.1. Its position for capital R, U+1D4AD, is reserved and cross-referenced to โ„› instead of holding a character of its own, so the Unicode data sends that position to โ„›.

Because โ„› sits in a different Unicode block from ๐’ฌ and ๐’ฎ (Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols), a font can design it separately, and how closely they match depends on the font. โ„› takes one UTF-16 unit where ๐’ฌ takes two. The Mathematical Bold Script alphabet has no gap at this letter: ๐“ก is U+1D4E1, in sequence with ๐“  and ๐“ข.

Why a look-alike is not a harmless swap

โ„œ is black-letter (the gothic style, not cursive) and sits in the Letterlike Symbols block, where the borrowed script capitals also are.
