What exactly are you proposing? A glyph change so that the glyphs for normal dotted I be rendered without the dot, or that Irish be added to the list of languages that uses the dotless I such as Turkish, Azeri, and most likely the Latin alphabets for Tatar and Bashkir. If it is a glyph issue that it is not part of the scope Unicode. If it should really use the dotless Is then Unicode needs to be changed. Carl
