Consequence for ligatures
In their realizations in several fonts, the common ligatures for "fi" and "ffi" make the dot of the letter "i" disappear by merging it with the dot-like end of the curve of the minuscule "f". These ligatures should be avoided when typesetting text in Turkish. A font can mean: A member of a typeface family; or digital font - file format that encapsulates a typeface family in a database. ...

In computing In Unicode U+0131 is a lower case letter dotless i (ı). U+0130 (İ) is capital i with dot. IS0-8859-9 has them at positions 0xDD and 0xFD respectively. In normal typography, when lower case i's is combined with other diacritics, the dot is generally removed before the diacritic is added; however, Unicode still lists the equivalent combining sequences as including the dotted i, since logically it is the normal dotted i character that is being modified.

Software handling Unicode uppercasing and lowercasing will generally change ı to I and İ to i but unless it is specifically set up for Turkish it will change I to i and i to I rather than I to ı and i to İ. This means that the effect of uppercasing followed by lowercasing can be different from the effect of just lowercasing for texts that contain these characters.

Dotless i (and dotted capital I) is also famous for its problematic handling under Turkish locales in several software, including Oracle DBMS, Java (this bug in Java will be fixed in the upcoming Java 6.0 release), and Unixware 7, where implicit capitalization of keywords, variables, tables names are not forseen by the application developers. When applications written for such software acts strangely, it is better to switch locale to C or US English via System-wide or application-specific settings. Bugs should be logged in such situations, and if necessary patches submitted by developers to the software involved.
