İ, or i, called dotted I or i-dot, is a letter used in the Latin-script alphabets of Azerbaijani, Crimean Tatar, Gagauz, Kazakh, Tatar, and Turkish. It commonly represents the close front unrounded vowel /i/, except in Kazakh where it additionally represents the voiced palatal approximant /j/ and the diphthongs /ɪj/ and /əj/. All of the languages it is used in also use its dotless counterpart I while not using the basic Latin letter I.
