0Hi Sandeep, I could understand your question perfectly,02br 02br 00I thought this was an interesting question, so I checked my Oxford dictionary for you. It seems that 01font 00I 02font 00comes from Old English 01font 00Ic 02font 00and Old Scottish 01font 00Ik02font 00. The Old German is 01font 00Ih02font 00, which gives us the modern German 01font 00Ich02font 00.
