І
Also known as izhei, Belarusian i, Kazakh i, Rusyn i
Cyrillic letter “Ukrainian-Belarusian i” or “izhei”, also formerly used in Russian before 1918
AI overview
"І/і" is a letter from the Cyrillic alphabet that looks like a straight vertical line with a dot above it, used in Ukrainian and Belarusian writing and historically in Russian before spelling reforms in 1918. It matters because it's a fundamental part of modern Ukrainian and Belarusian orthography, helping to distinguish these languages' written forms from Russian and from each other.
