I'm yet to see a font where “і” differs from “i”
FWIW, here, the former (CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER BYELORUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN I, according to uniname) is differently hinted, so appears slightly different (with more hinting blur) if the patented FreeType bytecode interpreter is turned on. (In my web browser, i FULLWIDTH LATIN SMALL LETTER I is invisible: in my terminals, it's visible since they use a different font, it is visible but ⅰ SMALL ROMAN NUMERAL ONE and ⁱ SUPERSCRIPT LATIN SMALL LETTER I are square boxes. IMNSHO, anyone who uses any of these when programming is a maniac. Even using them in literal strings or translated output is questionable: font coverage for these letters is just too poor.)
