Hi Gerrit -

just found a paper on the history of typesetting Classical Greek - including a note on Principia Mathematica's "turned iota"
                                
                        [http://conze.elbrecht.com/PDFs/Yot.pdf]

And there is note of a German preference for using "Jot" instead. So maybe, your "flipped dotless j" fits well in – somehow…
