Latin Small Letter I With Ogonek Letter Meaning
į (U+012F, “Latin small letter i with ogonek”) is a Latin letter with the ogonek diacritic, which helps distinguish specific vowel sounds in certain languages and orthographies. In plain text and typography, it functions as a distinct character (not just an “i” plus decoration), so using the proper Unicode character improves spelling accuracy, search matching, and text rendering. It also appears in proper names, place names, and loanwords written according to those language rules. If you’re designing UI or writing content that must preserve correct characters, copying this exact symbol prevents substitution with plain “i.”
