U+1E2F "ḯ" Latin Small Letter I with Diaeresis and Acute Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ḯ
U+1E2F "ḯ" Latin Small Letter I with Diaeresis and Acute is a composite glyph that combines a base Latin small letter "i" with two diacritical marks: a diaeresis (two dots) placed above the letter to indicate that the vowel is pronounced separately from a preceding vowel, and an acute accent (a short, sloping line) also placed above to denote a high or rising tone or stress in certain languages. This character is used primarily in phonetic transcription and in writing languages such as Khowar, where it represents a distinct vowel sound with both features. It is part of the Latin Extended Additional block in Unicode, serving as a specialized tool for accurate linguistic representation and textual clarity in digital environments.
