Ì (U+00CC) is the uppercase form of the letter I with a grave accent. It represents an accented “I” used in languages and orthographies that distinguish different diacritics on vowels. In everyday use, you’ll most often encounter Ì in correct spellings of words, names, and abbreviations where the grave accent is required.
