Latin Capital Letter I with Grave Ì

Capital I with grave is the uppercase form of ì. It is rare in practice, used mainly in Italian all-caps text, in Scottish Gaelic, and in some transliterations. Because Italian places accents mostly at word endings, it seldom starts a word, but it appears in headings and signs written entirely in capitals.

Good to know

Don’t mix it up: Often confused with Í (U+00CD), whose accent slants the other way.

Display: the character itself is always the same code point, but its shape comes from the font on the device showing it. If you see an empty box, the font lacks this glyph—the text is still correct.
