U+0A07 "ਇ" Gurmukhi Letter I Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ਇ
U+0A07 "ਇ" Gurmukhi Letter I is the written representation of the short vowel sound "i" (as in "it") in the Gurmukhi script, which is primarily used to write the Punjabi language. As an independent vowel character, it specifically represents this vowel sound when it appears at the beginning of a syllable or as a standalone letter, distinct from its corresponding vowel sign (matra) which modifies a consonant. This letter is a fundamental part of the Gurmukhi syllabary, playing a key role in accurately representing the phonetics of Punjabi in written form, including in religious and secular texts such as the Guru Granth Sahib.
