I have this text here:

How many daydreams have ever been brought to pass throughout history? (IC: How lamentable!)

It seems like usage of IC: is similar to that of i.e.: but when I look up IC in Oxford online all I’m getting is:

Definition of IC in English:

IC ABBREVIATION

1Integrated circuit. 2Internal combustion. ‘the IC engine’

Is it just a misspelling of i.e.:? Or something completely different.

So it's clear that IC means interlinear comment.
