It has not.
There are two kinds of "i": with and without dots: two different letters,
4 different chars (upper and lower case of the 2 letters).
They are not unified.

Now, the default pair used in almost all languages is the one with a dot
for the lowercase, and the one without dot for the uppercase.
So the default pairing is that one; only for Turkish and Azerbaidjani
the upercasing and lowercasin rules are different.
