			'''Iota''' (uppercase '''Ι''', lowercase '''ι'''; Ιώτα jota Yota/Jota) is the ninth letter of the [[Greek alphabet]]. In the system of [[Greek numerals]] it has a value of 10. It was derived from the [[Phoenician alphabet\|Phoenician letter]] [[Yodh]] ([[Image:phoenician yodh.png\|16px]]). Letters that arose from this letter include the Roman [[I]] and [[J]] and the Cyrillic [[І]] (І, і), [[Yi (Cyrillic)\|Yi]] (Ї, ї), [[Je (Cyrillic)\|Je]] (Ј, ј), and [[Iotation\|iotified]] letters (e.g. [[Yu (Cyrillic)\|Yu]] (Ю, ю)).

			Iota represents i. In ancient Greek it occurred in both long [iː] and short [i] versions, but this distinction has been lost in Modern Greek.

			Iota participated as the second element in [[falling diphthong]]s, with both long and short vowels as the first element. Where the first element was long, the iota was lost in pronunciation at an early date, and was written in [[polytonic orthography]] as '''[[iota subscript]]''', in other words as a very small ι under the main vowel, for instance ᾼ ᾳ ῌ ῃ ῼ ῳ.

			The word is used in a common English phrase, 'not one iota', meaning 'not the slightest difference', in reference to a phrase in the [[New Testament]]: "until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law" ([[Matthew 5:18]]).<sup>[1]</sup>

			The word 'jot' (or ''iot'') derives from iota.<sup>[2]</sup>

			==Symbol==

			* The iota symbol is used to generate a vector of consecutive integers in the [[APL programming language]].
			* The name "iota" denotes a pseudo-constant to represent successive integers in the [[Go (programming language)\|Go programming language]].
			* The lowercase iota symbol is sometimes used to write the [[imaginary unit]], but more often Roman [[i]] or [[j]] is used.
			* In [[logic]], the lowercase iota denotes the [[Definite description#Symbolic form\|definite descriptor]].
			* In [[mathematics]] and [[statistics]], a [[unit vector]] is often denoted by a lowercase iota letter with a superscript [[caret]]: <math>{\hat{\imath}}</math>.
