It appears to be at the beginning of the intonation rise; the example in
the IPA Handbook is English "How did you ever escape?"

[<R>haU dId ju Ev@r I<F>skeIp]

(I hope there aren't any "r" and "f" tags in HTML ... if so, those
X-SAMPA versions of "global rise" and "global fall" won't show up on
some mail readers ... another annoying feature of X-SAMPA. But then,
ideally mail readers wouldn't try to interpret HTML tags.)

So if you want the intonation to rise over the word "viflijj", you'd put
it before the [vi].
