Only to the extent of adding a note that the casing rules for Turkish,
where I and ı are a case pair, applied to Irish as well.
But that isn't the case, and that isn't what Marion was talking about.
The lower case form of
U+0049 I is U+0069 i, in Irish as well as in most other Latin-script
languages.
The solution to Marion's problem is to increase awareness of the
"proper" glyph design for lower-case i's in uncial fonts (and while
we're at it, maybe we can get people to fix those horrible lower-case
k's in non-native Fraktur fonts). It has nothing to do with character
encoding, Unicode or otherwise.
