Î, î (i-circumflex) is a letter in the Friulian, Kurdish, and Romanian alphabets. This letter also appears in French, Turkish, Welsh and Walon language as a variant of letter “i”.

In Afrikaans, î is a punctuated form of i and a usage example includes "wîe", plural of "wig" (= wedge).

Î is used to represent the /iː/ sound.

Î is the 12th letter of the Kurdish Kurmanji alphabet and represents /iː/.

Î is the 12th letter of the Romanian alphabet and represents /ɨ/. This sound is also represented in Romanian as letter â.

Î is a variant of I in Italian. It should be used when forming the plural of male nouns ending in "-io", to avoid placing the stress on the wrong syllable. Example: "principio" /prinˈtʃipjo/ (principle) has the plural "principî" /prinˈtʃipi/, while "principe" /ˈprintʃipe/ (prince) has "principi" /ˈprintʃipi/ as plural. However, the usage of Î in Italian is rapidly decreasing; most Italians write "principi" for the plurals of both "principio" and "principe".

Î is a letter which appears in several French words, like naître(to be born), abîme(abyss), maître(master) and more. Unlike Â, Ê, and Ô, the circumflex does not alter the pronunciation of î, nor does it alter û.

His claimed ability to impart direct knowledge of God attracted a great deal of interest from young adults, and many saw him as an incarnation of the divine. Under his charismatic leadership, the Divine Light Mission (DLM) became the fastest growing new religious movement in the West, though it was sometimes described as a cult. Rawat also attracted media attention, being ridiculed in the US for his youth and his supposed divine status, with journalists noting luxury automobiles and multiple residences made available to him by his followers.
