There is a paper I am citing that has an author with the name shown in the image below. enter image description here

The default citation provided by the search engine I was using suggest {\v i}, which shows as the following in my paper:

enter image description here

I am wondering (since I don't now Russian) if this is even a faithful representation of the corresponding letter in Russian. Also, I am wondering if {\v i} is the most accurate way to represent this letter in LaTeX.

This is the only Russian letter I need to represent in my document, so I don't have a need to include Russian language packages or similar things if it can be avoided.

  • @nordev, thanks for showing me that. Now, I would like someone to confirm that \u{\i} is the correct Russian letter. – NeutronStar Aug 18 '15 at 21:30
  • not a check, but a breve (rounded) over an undotted "i". the english "translation" is "short i". \u{\i}, but see duplicate for additional information. – barbara beeton Aug 18 '15 at 21:32

    It's definitely \u{\i}. I've noticed that bibliography search system tend to use the “háček” (\v{\i} or, even worse, \v i), but it's wrong as ǐ is used only in romanization of Chinese, as far as I know. – egreg Aug 18 '15 at 21:35
  • @egreg If that's any consolation, others use breves instead of háčeks in languages such as Czech and Croatian ;-) – Arthur Reutenauer Aug 23 '15 at 03:18
