This is not about an "insignificant few who insist on using obscure
character sets", but rather about a language spoken by millions of
people which has to "I" characters, namely dotted and dotless "I".
Rather consistently, the dotless "I"'s lower-case variant is "ı", and
the dotted "İ"'s lower-case variant is "i".  There you go.
