U+00CC "Ì" Latin Capital Letter I with Grave Unicode Character

U+00CC "Ì" Latin Capital Letter I with Grave is a precomposed character used in several languages, including Italian, where it can appear in words like "caffè" to indicate a specific pronunciation, and occasionally in Catalan, French, and Welsh to denote stress or distinguish homophones. It consists of the uppercase letter "I" combined with a grave accent (`) above it, which historically marks a low or falling tone in certain phonetic contexts. In digital text, it is part of the Latin-1 Supplement block in Unicode, and it is commonly employed in formal writing or proper names, though in modern typing it is often replaced by a separate "I" followed by a combining grave accent character.
