How to have this Latvian letter "i" with top bar in LaTeX?

Question

I am trying to type the i with the top bar in Fig. 1. I did not find any corresponding symbol in the glossary here. Detexifying it also gives bad results. I would like to get it without fontspec. Pseudocode

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
% TODO here the letter i with top bar
\end{document}

Failed attempt with \={i} giving output in Fig. 2.

Fig. 1 Expected output for Latvian i with the bar at the top, Fig. 2 Failed output

Expected letter in Wysiwyg: ī

In your code your are using fontenc. However using fontspec means you are compiling with lualatex or xelatex. In this case you can simple type your letter. It's the same like here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/230281/how-to-have-this-latvian-letter-s-with-top-nose — Marco Daniel, Apr 01 '17 at 07:41
This 'works for me' with ī as the input and an up-to-date TeX system, which gives the same result as \=\i. Can you post the .log you get? — Joseph Wright, Apr 01 '17 at 07:49
@JosephWright Confirmed works also in my updated system now. — Léo Léopold Hertz 준영, Apr 01 '17 at 07:51

Since you are using inputenc in your example you can (since the 2015 latex release) just type ī directly (or use the traditional \=\i)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
ī
\end{document}

Do the following with ligature (https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/48518/13173)

\={\i}
