**Ini**, or **In** ([Asomtavruli](/source/Asomtavruli): Ⴈ; [Nuskhuri](/source/Nuskhuri): ⴈ; [Mkhedruli](/source/Mkhedruli): ი; [Mtavruli](/source/Mtavruli): Ი: [Georgian](/source/Georgian_language): ინი, ინ) is the 10th letter of the three [Georgian scripts](/source/Georgian_scripts).[1]

It is typically [romanized](/source/Romanization_of_Georgian) with the letter [I](/source/I).[4]
