I with macron (Ӣ ӣ; italics: Ӣ ӣ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. In Tajik, it represents a stressed close front unrounded vowel /i/ at the end of a word. In Kildin Sami on the Kola Peninsula and Mansi in western Siberia, it represents long /iː/. In those languages, vowel length is distinctive, and the macron marks the long version of vowels.
I with macron is also used in Aleut (Bering dialect).[1] It is the sixteenth letter of the modern Aleut alphabet.
