I circumflex
Latin Capital Letter I with Circumflex · U+00CE
Î is the capital i with a circumflex, the pointed hat sitting above it. French writes it in words like Île, and Romanian uses the same letter, famously inside România. The accent often points to a longer vowel or an older spelling. Its lowercase form is î (U+00EE), and its code point is U+00CE. Click the tile to copy Î, then paste it anywhere with Ctrl+V (Windows), Cmd+V (Mac) or a long-press → Paste on a phone.

How to type Î
Î is not printed on most English keyboards, but every device hides a shortcut for it. Pick your platform:
Windows
- Turn on Num Lock so the numeric keypad produces digits.
- Hold Alt, type 0206 on the numeric keypad, then release Alt — Î appears at the cursor.
Tip: No numeric keypad? Press Win + . for the emoji panel (Symbols tab), or copy the character straight from this page.
Mac
- Press the Option combination for the accent — a highlighted accent mark appears, waiting.
- Type Shift+I; the two combine into Î.
Tip: The press-and-hold pop-up has no shortcut for this exact form, so the Option combination above is the keyboard route — or copy the character straight from this page.
iPhone & Android
- Tap Shift first, then press and hold the i key on the on-screen keyboard.
- A pop-up row of capital accented versions appears — slide your finger to Î and release.
Tip: The pop-up row comes from the letter’s long-press menu on the iPhone’s English (US) keyboard (iOS 17+); Gboard and other Android keyboards offer similar menus, though the exact set varies.
Copy-paste is a typing method too — every accented form of I copies in one click on the I with accent page, alongside the full typing guides.
