How to type Turkish dotted and dotless I correctly

Make the dotted and dotless I distinction visible before typing a Turkish name or heading.

The Turkish layout places dotless ı and dotted i on different physical positions. This exercise compares those two lowercase outputs with uppercase İ so you can check character choice before styling the text.

How to use the Turkish Keyboard

Try this keyboard: Turkish Keyboard

01

Prepare a separate practice line

Open the Turkish keyboard. If a browser draft is already present, save it before using the trash button to start this exercise. Put the caret in the main editor and make sure Shift, Caps and Alt Gr are off. This gives the sample a predictable starting point.

Locate physical I for ı and quote for i on the base layer. Shift with I produces I, while Shift with quote produces İ. These are separate explicit mappings; the editor does not infer the required form from a word or name.

02

Enter the three-character exercise

Use these positions in order: I for ı; then ' for i; then Shift + ' for İ. Add one Space between each output. When using on-screen modifiers, switch them off before moving to a different layer. The resulting editor text is ı i İ. It is a character exercise, not a word or a translation.

Enter the two lowercase characters first, then enable Shift only for the final İ at quote. Turn it off afterward. Keep the spaces to distinguish all three outputs and inspect the dot in the capital rather than relying only on its overall shape.

Check the result before reusing it

Compare the sample at a readable size. If one form is wrong, replace that character with the exact desired output. Adding or removing a visual dot through formatting is not a text correction; Copy and Word retain whichever character was actually inserted.

For a name, username or heading, compare spelling and case with the required source. The keyboard preserves dotted and dotless forms but does not normalize them or decide a spelling. Check the destination too, particularly when mixing Turkish and other Latin-script text.

04

Save the exercise as a PNG image

Open Text style from the font icon. Use Arial at 28 px, Automatic color, and Left to right direction. Turn bold, italic, underline and strikethrough off. These settings apply to the whole editor. A font changes appearance, not the stored characters; your device may use a fallback font for unsupported shapes. Choose Done to close the style dialog.

Choose Save image to save the complete exercise as a PNG, with centered lines and dark text on a white background. Open the file and compare it with the sample. For an editable alternative, choose Save Word (.docx) to create a real .docx, or use Copy text for plain text. These actions use all the editor text even when only part is selected.

Tips for this layout

Learn both I positions

Use the two physical positions deliberately. Treating quote as ordinary punctuation here can lead to confusion when looking for dotted i.

Check other direct letters

The visible base layer also includes ğ, ü, ş, ö and ç at dedicated positions. Inspect their Shift labels when a capital is required.

A FEW USEFUL DETAILS

Common questions

How do I enter uppercase İ?

Use Shift with quote. Shift with physical I produces the distinct uppercase I.

Will Copy normalize dotted and dotless letters?

No. It preserves the entered text. Choose the correct character and case before copying.

Can I fix the letter by choosing a different font?

No. A font changes its appearance, not its stored identity. Replace the incorrect character in the editor.

YOUR TURN

Try the Turkish exercise

Repeat the three-form comparison, then check the exact dotted and dotless characters in your own Turkish text.
