You can find me 3 times in the phrase:

"When I awesomely win, I feel like a sexy rider"

What am I?

Slight Hint

Most of the answers have been more literal than the intended one.

Hint

Of the 3 times, 2 refer to product brands

Hint 2 after a year

One of the aforementioned brands is British, a very rare occasion in its industry.

Hint 3 after 6 years

The other brand "heats things up"

You are a:

Jot.

Explanation:

Unicode decimal code &#105 is lower case "i", there are three lower case "i"s in the phrase, and since it's a word, you must be the dot above the i's, sometimes called "jot".

It is perhaps linked to

Vici of Veni Vidi and Vici

the famous quote attributed to an emperor(on his conquering) and

# one hundred five refer to repeated letters of i, c, v (though, a stretch and incompleteness here!)

one possible answer, though not sure it qualifies as a word:

the letter W or the letter L

Because

there are three Ws and three Ls in the phrase

The answer I deducted as per my understanding:

You are found 3 times in the given phrase.

Description:

2 times when you reference yourself with "I" and 3rd time "me" in the word awesomely.

Not sure whether it qualifies the given hint about products.

    $\begingroup$ If you're going to count the "me" in awesomely, shouldn't you also count the "I" in win and rider? $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 28, 2020 at 10:16
