I sometimes wonder whether or not it was a wise choice to regard "LATIN SMALL LETTER I" and "LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I" as distinct. Too late to change it now, of course, but (with the benefit of hindsight) it occurs to me that if U+0069 had been regarded as dotless, all these problems would never have arisen. Western fonts could still have rendered it with a dot, Turkish fonts could have rendered it without a dot, and everyone would have been happy.
Turkish uses both dotted and undotted i, as separate letters in the same alphabet.
