Unicode Version 17.0
ི
U+0F72 "ི" Tibetan Vowel Sign I is a combining mark used in the Tibetan script to represent the vowel sound "i" and is written above the consonant it modifies, forming an integral part of Tibetan orthography. This character belongs to the Tibetan block of Unicode and is essential for accurately rendering Tibetan words, as it transforms the inherent "a" vowel of a consonant into the "i" vowel. In transcription systems, such as Wylie, it is often represented by the letter "i" after the consonant it follows.
