I'm not an expert in this, but this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotted_and_dotless_I

Shows there is a small, and a capital version of the 'Turkish dotless i'

StrComp("i","I",0) only returns 0 for the small, and the capital i,
and not for the i's with diacritics   (í,ì,ï, ....)

I think the 'Turkish dotless i' should be treated as an i with a diacritic.
