Talk:Dotted and dotless I in computing

Can someone please explain in layman's terms how the dotless I is pronounced? No IPA stuff, and no scientific terms about which parts of the mouth should move where, thanks. — JIP | Talk 10:02, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There's a sound sample at close back unrounded vowel. Muntfish 10:11, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why cause Turkish dotted and dotless Letter I problems on Turkish computers? 84.61.43.168 14:02, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Most codepages did make Turkish difficult. What should have been done was to encode six letters:

LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I

LATIN SMALL LETTER I

LATIN CAPITAL LETTER DOTLESS I (Turkish, Azerbaijani)

LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I (Turkish, Azerbaijani)

LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT (≡I+combining dot above)

LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DOT (≡i+combining dot above)

This would have made representation of multilingual texts much easier, and would have done away with any language-specific case mapping. —Typhlosion 18:14, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
