History


Phoenician
yodh 		Etruscan I Ii Greek
Iota
D36


In Semitic , the letter may have originated in a Egyptian hieroglyphs|hieroglyph for an arm that represented a voiced pharyngeal fricative (IPA|/?/) in Egyptian language|Egyptian , but was reassigned to IPA|/j/ (as in English " y es") by Semites, because their word for "arm" began with that sound. This letter could also be used to represent IPA|/i/, the close front unrounded vowel , mainly in foreign words.

The Greeks adopted a form of this Phoenician alphabet|Phoenician yodh as their letter iota (??, ??) to represent IPA|/i/, the same as in the Old Italic alphabet . In Latin (as in Modern Greek), it was also used to represent IPA|/j/. The modern letter ? j ? was firstly a variation of ?i?, and both were used interchangeably for both the vowel and the consonant, coming to be differentiated only in the 16th century. The dot over the lowercase 'i' is sometimes called a tittle . In the Turkish alphabet , dotted and dotless I are considered separate letters, representing a front and back vowel, respectively, and both have upper-case (?I?, ? Dotted and dotless I|I ?) and lowercase (?i?, ?i?) forms.

In modern English, ?i? represents different sounds, either a "long" diphthong IPA|/a?/ as in kite , which developed from Middle English IPA|/i?/ after the Great Vowel Shift of the 15th century, or the "short", IPA|/?/ as in bill .

Usage


The letter 'I' is the fifth most common letter in the English language .

Form


In some fonts, the upper case letter I ?I? may be difficult to distinguish from the lower case L|letter L ?l?, the vertical bar|vertical bar character ?|?, or the 1 (number)|digit one ?1?.

Some peopleWho|date=January 2012 write uppercase I with three strokes, with two horizontal bars at the top and bottom (as in Comic Sans MS ). OthersWho|date=January 2012 write it with only one vertical stroke (as in Arial ).
