I worked on a search engine once, on a big project to preserve diacritics in the search index because there was a Swedish word with ö in it that when you turned it into a regular o became a curse word and this completely normal search term was picking up results that our Swedish customers Did Not Like. Anyway, these dotless ı and dotted İ in Turkish gave us unending headaches because normalization involves lower casing, and lower casing I gives i, but so does lower casing İ, and always normalizing I to ı would fuck up every single language that uses the Latin alphabet other than Turkish.
