Ï Information
Ï, lowercase ï, is a symbol used in various languages written with the Latin alphabet; it can be read as the letter I with diaeresis or I-umlaut.
In Afrikaans, Catalan, Dutch, French, Galician, Welsh, Southern Sami, and occasionally English, ‹ï› is used when ‹i› follows another vowel and indicates hiatus (diaeresis) in the pronunciation of such a word—that is, it indicates that the two vowels are pronounced in separate syllables, rather than together as a diphthong or digraph. For example, French maïs (IPA: [ma.is], maize); without the diaeresis, the ‹i› is part of the digraph ‹ai›: mais (IPA: [mɛ], but). The letter is also in Dutch Oekraïne (IPA: [ukrɑːˈinə], Ukraine), and English naïve (pronounced /nɑːˈiːv/ or /naɪˈiːv/).
In the transcription of the languages of the Amazon, ï is used to represent the high central vowel [ɨ].
