I is for italics
i
The "i" element is for stylistically treating a word or phrase as being somehow different from the rest, by using an italicized variant of the font.
Possible uses might include a taxonomic designation, a technical term, an idiomatic phrase from another language, a thought, a ship name, etc.
The "i" element may be used for any span of text whose typographic presentation should be italicized.
Here italicized is not the same as emphasis as used in the "em" element.
Examples
The <<i Lonely Planet>> docked at its final port-of-call Thursday
evening. The 189-day journey was a <<i tour de force>> for
solo sailing.
