Ɨ

I-bar (majuscule: Ɨ, minuscule: ɨ), also called barred i, is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from I or i with the addition of a bar.

I with bar in Doulos SIL
Not to be confused with ł (L with stroke) or ƚ (L with bar).

In the International Phonetic Alphabet, ɨ is used to represent a close central unrounded vowel. In American linguistic tradition, it is used to represent the weak vowel heard in the second syllable of roses when distinct from Rosa's.[1] For related uses of the small capital barred i, see near-close central unrounded vowel.

The ISO 6438 (African coded character set for bibliographic information interchange) gives lowercase of Ɨ as ɪ, a small capital I, not ɨ.

ɨ̆, small barred i written with a breve, represents a very short close central unrounded vowel. The breve indicates a very short, or overshort vowel.

In the Golin language, ɨ̆ is used in the IPA transcription of the very short high central epenthetic vowel phone, which is restricted to syllables closing with a sonorant.

Barred i is found written with an acute accent (majuscule: Ɨ́, minuscule: ɨ́) in the orthographies of several languages, including Bangolan, Bora, Chiquitano, Cora, Guarayo, Witoto, Inapari, Kenyang, Nzime, Kwanja, Mpade, Mfumte, Noni, and Orejón. Depending on the language, the accent diacritic serves either to indicate the location of a word's primary stress or to mark rising tone.

gollark: But that is... absolutely not the case.
gollark: I mean, yes, if you already trust everyone to act sensibly and without doing bad stuff, then privacy doesn't matter for those reasons.
gollark: Oh, and as an extension to the third thing, if you already have some sort of vast surveillance apparatus, even if you trust the government of *now*, a worse government could come along and use it later for... totalitarian things.
gollark: For example:- the average person probably does *some* sort of illegal/shameful/bad/whatever stuff, and if some organization has information on that it can use it against people it wants to discredit (basically, information leads to power, so information asymmetry leads to power asymmetry). This can happen if you decide to be an activist or something much later, even- having lots of data on you means you can be manipulated more easily (see, partly, targeted advertising, except that actually seems to mostly be poorly targeted)- having a government be more effective at detecting minor crimes (which reduced privacy could allow for) might *not* actually be a good thing, as some crimes (drug use, I guess?) are kind of stupid and at least somewhat tolerable because they *can't* be entirely enforced practically
gollark: No, it probably isn't your fault, it must have been dropped from my brain stack while I was writing the rest.
