* Yes I am aware of the Apr 1 prank.
Action Item
Why is there no Unicode character for "i dotted with a heart"? This is an even bigger oversight than there being no coding for the Glyph Formerly Known As.*

Yeah, the decomposed COMBINING HEART ABOVE would definitely be more in keeping with the unicode philosophy, unless you can find a precomposed version in some legacy character set. I think there needs to be a COMBINING HAPPY FACE ABOVE as well.
Rereading this, I realize that DECOMPOSED COMBINING HEART ABOVE would make a fine band name.
We also need a Unicode encoding for the remaining characters from the 64-character alphabet in the Invisibles...
we also need a glyph for "combining sparkles". target uses being twilight fanfic and myspace profiles.
Agreed. If we are going to have THNAD, SPAZZ, and FLOOB, then we definitely should get to have i-dotted-with-a- heart, star, smiley, or cyborg.
Unfortunately (?) "Seussian Latin" falls into the E000-F8FF private use range, and despite the grand name, the ConScript Unicode Registry is just a hobbyist site.
If there's going to be support for i-dotted-heart, there needs to be support for its intermediary waning version, i-dotted-circle.
You mean ı̊?
This would inevitably lead to an unholy alliance of i-dotted-heart and emoticons, yielding alternative typefaces with god knows what hovering over the i.
