Template:Short description Script error: No such module "redirect hatnote". Script error: No such module "redirect hatnote". Script error: No such module "Distinguish". Template:Infobox grapheme İ, or i, called dotted I or i-dot, is a letter used in the Latin-script alphabets of Azerbaijani, Crimean Tatar, Gagauz, Kazakh, Tatar, and Turkish. It commonly represents the close front unrounded vowel Script error: No such module "IPA". except in Kazakh in which it additionally represents the voiced palatal approximant Script error: No such module "IPA". and the diphthongs Script error: No such module "IPA". and Script error: No such module "IPA".. All languages that use it also use its dotless counterpart I, but not the basic Latin letter I.
In computing
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".The dotted I is encoded into Unicode with the code point U+0130 (U+0069 for the lowercase letter) as part of the Latin Extended-A block.[1]Template:Charmap
Issues
The dotted and dotless I characters have caused issues in computing. Languages like Turkish have four variants of the letter I (as opposed to two in English). This causes problems when, instead of the original mapping of i to I, Turkish maps i to the new İ, and ı to I, frequently breaking software logic.[2]
Usage in other languages
Both the dotted and dotless I can be used in transcriptions of Rusyn to allow distinguishing between the letters Ы and И, which would otherwise be both transcribed as "y", despite representing different phonemes. Under such transcription the dotted İ would represent the Cyrillic І, and the dotless I would represent either Ы or И, with the other being represented by "Y".Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
