U+040D "Ѝ" Cyrillic Capital Letter I with Grave Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ѝ
U+040D "Ѝ" Cyrillic Capital Letter I with Grave is a rarely used variant of the Cyrillic letter I (И, и), distinguished by a grave accent (◌̀) placed above it. This diacritical mark, distinct from the more common breve or double grave, typically indicates a specific phonetic stress or tonal variation in certain languages or scholarly transcriptions. While not part of standard modern alphabets, the character appears primarily in historical or liturgical texts, as well as in linguistic or dictionary contexts where precise pronunciation or accentuation must be represented, such as in some Bulgarian or Macedonian materials to denote a stressed or lengthened syllable.
