Accent of the letter 'i'

See the rough sketch above. I am able to typeset the accented i shown in the middle (for which I used the \v macro) and, obviously, the plain and simple i shown on the left also. However, I can't figure out how to typeset the one shown on the right. How can I do that?

    \u{\i} makes a rounded shape, \v{\i} an acute one. Commented Nov 30, 2013 at 16:02

For the breve accent in text mode use \u{\i}, for the háček use \v{\i}. In math mode, they are \breve{\imath} and \check{\imath}.

\documentclass{article} \begin{document} \verb|\u{\i}|: \u{\i} \verb|\v{\i}|: \v{\i} \verb|$\breve{\imath}\ne\check{\imath}$|: $\breve{\imath}\ne\check{\imath}$ \end{document}
