What's with the hat on the o?

In French it's used to mark where an o was followed by an s in Latin, but that's not the case here. Icon comes from Greek word that never had an S.

Wiktionary reports an Esperanto iĉon, which means "male".

Perhaps this means something in some other language? Or is it a metal umlaut?
