Ī (Indic)

In Indic scripts, Ī (ई) is a vowel. Specifically, it represents the long vowel equivalent of "i" (इ). It is used in languages such as Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi, Nepali, and others that employ Devanagari or related scripts. The vowel sound represented by Ī is typically a longer, more sustained "ee" sound, similar to the "ee" in the English word "see." Its representation and usage can vary slightly depending on the specific Indic language and its grammatical rules.
