According to Unicode specifications from Unicode version 1.0 up to the current
version of Unicode, the character U+026A LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL I (ɪ)
capitalizes as U+0197 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH STROKE (Ɨ).

However in OpenOffice.org (any Windows version and probably in any version),
U+026A does not capitalize at all.

Instead, in OpenOffice.org, the character U+0268 LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH
STROKE (ɨ) wrongly capitalizes as U+0197 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH STROKE (Ɨ).

See the official Unicode charts for the IPA Extension at
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0250.pdf . Under U+026A ɪ LATIN SMALL LETTER
CAPITAL I it states: “→ 0197 Ɨ Latin capital letter i with stroke”. Under U+0268
ɨ LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH STROKE it states: “• ISO 6438 gives lowercase of
0197 Ɨ as 026A ɪ not 0268 ɨ”.

Similarly see the Latin Extended-B block at
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0180.pdf. Under U+0197 Ɨ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER
I WITH STROKE it states “• ISO 6438 gives lowercase as 026A ɪ, not 0268 ɨ” and
also states “→ 026A ɪ latin letter small capital i”.

To summarize, the current OpenOffice.org position is:
U+026A ɪ LATIN SMALL LETTER CAPITAL I (does not case)
U+0268 ɨ LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH STROKE uppercases to U+0197 LATIN CAPITAL
LETTER I WITH STROKE (Ɨ).

However Unicode has always held that:
U+026A ɪ LATIN SMALL LETTER CAPITAL I uppercases to U+0197 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER
I WITH STROKE (Ɨ).
U+0268 ɨ LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH STROKE (does not case).
