## How the Old English I is built

The capital I (ℑ) comes from Letterlike Symbols, where it has meant 'imaginary part' in maths for decades. It is a narrow curl with a flourish on the left. The lowercase i is a single short stroke with a diamond-shaped dot.

## Easily confused with

Capital I and capital J are notoriously close in Fraktur. The J drops below the baseline; the I sits on it.

## Where people use it

I is mostly searched for initials and for names like Isabella. Because ℑ is drawn from a different source font, it may look slightly larger or lighter than its neighbours.

## Example words

- Isabella: 𝕴𝖘𝖆𝖇𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖆
- Infinity: 𝕴𝖓𝖋𝖎𝖓𝖎𝖙𝖞
- Iglesias: 𝕴𝖌𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖎𝖆𝖘
- Inked: 𝕴𝖓𝖐𝖊𝖉
- I & A: 𝕴 & 𝕬
