i

Represents the dotless lowercase letter i, commonly used in multilingual typography and specialized formatting contexts.

Overview

Serves as a fundamental typographic element particularly valuable when working with languages and contexts that require the i character without its dot. Common applications include:

  • Turkish language typography where dotted and dotless i distinctions are crucial
  • Creating custom accents or diacritical marks above the character
  • Specialized mathematical or linguistic notation where a dotless i is preferred
  • Typography design where precise control over letter forms is needed
