Turkish—among other Turkic languages—are listed as supported languages but I couldn't find the dotless "ı" in Specimen nor does it render correctly.

In lowercase it falls back to the system-font and in uppercase it falls back to Iosevka's capital "i". As a consequence of the latter, for example, this could alter the spelling of the word "sıkıldım" to "SIKILDIM" which drastically changes the meaning of the word from "I'm bored" to "I have been fucked".

The dotless "ı" (U+0131) is an essential character for the Turkish alphabet, where it represents a distinct character and pronunciation from the dotted "i" (U+0069). This character is widely used in the Turkish language, especially in lowercase text.

I'm not sure how common the character is in the other supported languages Azerbaijani, Kazakh and Tatar, but at least in Turkish it's a very common character used in everyday speaking.

@muradbu muradbu changed the title Dotless "I" (U+0049) and "ı" (U+0131`) Dotless "I" (U+0049) and "ı" (U+0131) Jan 21, 2025

Iosevka have them of course. Maybe you somehow over-subsetted the font, or it is a client software issue?
