About the letter į

į is Unicode U+012F, named LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH OGONEK. It is used in Lithuanian. A small tail at the bottom right of a vowel, meaning “little tail” in Polish. It marks nasal vowels in Polish (ą, ę) and appears in Lithuanian (į, ų). See the į character page for every code and shortcut.

Troubleshooting

Alt codes only work with the number pad. On a laptop without one, use Win+. or the US-International layout.
If Alt codes type the wrong symbol, add a 0 before the number (Alt+0233 rather than Alt+130).
Some apps, such as remote desktop sessions, block Alt codes. Copy the letter from this page instead.
