U+00ED "í" Latin Small Letter I with Acute Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
í
U+00ED "í" Latin Small Letter I with Acute is a precomposed character used in many languages, including Spanish, Irish, Icelandic, and Catalan, where the acute accent primarily indicates stress, vowel quality, or distinguishes between homonyms. It is encoded under the Latin-1 Supplement block and is distinct from the sequence of a plain "i" followed by a combining acute accent (U+0069 and U+0301). In typographic practice, this character often appears in words like "sí" (meaning "yes" in Spanish) and "índice" (meaning "index") and in the Irish word "sín" (meaning "stretch"), with its visual form consisting of a lowercase i topped by a right-slanting diacritical mark.
