How to type I ı — Dotless I

Type it on our keyboard

Open the field already filled with ı — type or click more, then copy. No install, works offline:

Codes

Reference	ı	I
Unicode	U+0131	U+0049
HTML entity	`ı`	`I`
CSS escape	`\0131`	`\0049`
macOS — Unicode Hex Input	`⌥` 0131	`⌥` 0049
Windows — Word	0131 `Alt + X`	0049 `Alt + X`

macOS hex input needs the “Unicode Hex Input” source enabled (System Settings → Keyboard). The Windows Alt + X trick works in Word and Outlook; elsewhere use the panel below.

On a Mac

Press and hold the i key — an accent menu pops up; pick ı. Press-and-hold may not list ı on every layout — Character Viewer or our keyboard is the reliable route.
Character Viewer: ⌃⌘Space, search “dotless i”, double-click it.

On Windows

Emoji & symbols: Win + ., switch to symbols, find ı.
Character Map (search it in the Start menu) → find ı → Copy.

With PolyType installed

ı is a distinct letter, not a diacritic mark, so there is no inline accent for it — use a method above or our Turkish keyboard.
