U+0907 "इ" Devanagari Letter I Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
इ
U+0907 "इ" Devanagari Letter I is a vowel in the Devanagari script, which is used to write languages such as Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi, and Nepali. It represents the short close front unrounded vowel sound /i/, similar to the 'i' in the English word "sit". In written text, it appears as a character in its independent form, typically used at the beginning of a syllable, while its corresponding diacritic mark, the "matra" for I, is applied to consonant letters to modify their inherent vowel sound. This character is a fundamental component of the Devanagari syllabary, enabling the accurate transcription and writing of numerous South Asian languages.
