Unicode Version 17.0
ଇ
U+0B07 "ଇ" Oriya Letter I is a vowel used in the Odia script to represent the short "i" sound, approximately equivalent to the English "i" in the word "sit." Originating from the Brahmic family of scripts, this character is a fundamental component of the Odia language of eastern India, where it appears both as an independent letter and as a diacritic mark when combined with consonants. Its visual form is distinctively rounded, typical of the Odia script's cursive style, and it plays a key role in spelling and pronunciation for millions of speakers in the Indian state of Odisha and its diaspora.
