This is probably very elementary for seasoned puzzlers yet I must request assistance with the following sequence: 119, 019, 609, 809, xxx, 909 What is the underlying principle here? Edit: Source: 2.2., 4, https://www.helsinki.fi/sites/default/files/atoms/files/psykologia_valintakoe_2019.pdf

The answer is:
L09
You might think I have made a mistake there, but I suggest that you:
consider what all of the terms of your sequence look like when written on a calculator (or similar 7-segment display) and turned upside down!
Try it yourself and see!
