Cyrillic Capital Letter I Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Cyrillic Capital Letter I because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+0418, which you can use as И in HTML, \0418 in CSS, or type with Alt+1048 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Cyrillic Capital Letter I is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+0418 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Cyrillic Capital Letter I has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape И or the hex escape И.
