Cathy,
I have found four references to support your contention. A reference to it
using a Latin script, another to "Azari-Arabic, Azari-Cyrilic &
Azari-Turkish", I found a Mac font system but I don't have a Mac to try it
and I installed a True Type font that seems to produce both a dotted and an
accented i.
BTW I also found that it seems that there is a movement to Latinize Uigur as
well that started about 1960.

I believe Azeri also uses the dotless i/dotted i Turkish-style casing.

I was unaware that they were moving back to the Latin alphabet.
What jumps out at me is that case conversion code like the code that I just
submitted for inclusion into ICU is wrong. Turkish is not the only language
with dotted and dot less i. I assume that Tatar and Bashkir should follow
the same rules as Turkish. Are there other languages?
So I guess that I should check for "ba", "tt" & "tr" for special case
shifting. I presume that the alphabet is listed in proper sort order?
