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