 Iota subscript - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iota subscript (Greek ὑπογεγραμμένη) in Greek polytonic orthography is a way of writing the letter iota as a small vertical stroke beneath a vowel.
The classical Greek diphthongs ΑΙ, ΕΙ and ΟΙ were composed of a vowel and the letter iota whether or not the vowel was long.
The iota subscript was created when the iota was reintroduced in the Byzantine period, to correct the loss of ι from copies of earlier manuscripts, but was placed below rather than beside the vowel to reflect the fact that it was not, by then, pronounced.

 Iota Cnc   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Iota Cancri's mid-fourth magnitude (3.93) second-best is a bit of a cheat, however, since the star is double, which makes it a mere 1/100 of a magnitude (about 1%) brighter than Delta Cancri, the two stars looking exactly the same brightness as seen with the human eye.
Iota Cnc is a classic and pure example of a "wide binary," consisting of a seventh magnitude (6.57) white class A (A3) dwarf (called "Iota B") coupled with a fourth magnitude yellow-white class G (G7.5) giant ("Iota A") that lie 30.6 seconds of arc apart.
Parallax measures of Iota Cnc B seem to show it much closer than the 300 light year distance of Iota Cnc A, suggesting that the two are merely a line of sight coincidence.

As I sat and thought, there came a knock at the door, and a letter, in a big blue envelope, was brought in to me. I saw at a glance that it was a lawyer's letter, and an instinct told me that it was connected with my trust.
As this letter added nothing material to my knowledge, and certainly raised no further objection in my mind to entering on the task I had promised my dead friend to undertake, there was only one course open to me--namely, to write to Messrs.

 Yot
For the full effect, you need the bottom of the iota and upsilon precariously positioned several points above their neighbours, because the tilde (perispomeni) is level with the baseline of the other characters; and the characters should preferably be tilted somewhat, because the lead type didn't really fit upside down.
The reason why noone has ever attempted an upside down epsilon circumflex, [ɜ̰], akin to the upside down upsilon and iota circumflex, is obvious: epsilon circumflex is not a canonical combination in Greek, so Greek printers didn't have any instances handy in their trays.
The handwritten version of a non-syllabic iota is an iota with a breve or inverted breve beneath it—just as we would expect from its underlying structure.

 Titlecase and Adscripts
Following the description of Titlecase, you might expect that Greek accented capital letters would be counted as titlecase characters in the Unicode character database, since in traditional typography they only occur in titlecase (and when they occur on all caps words in Renaissance typography, the accents go to different places).
The third approach (small adscript) is a compromise: the capital version of the iota subscript is adscript, written next to the letter, but not as a full-sized capital iota.
The glyphs ELOT gave for the capital versions of subscript iota in Unicode 1.0 followed the Subscript tradition: the iota was subscripted, rather than adscripted, under the capital letters.

Early on, words were written with a large Unical capital and the rest of the letters the same size or slightly smaller in Roman.
The Greek letter iota, which looks like an "i" became the Roman I. The iota is the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet, the name had been for ages, a synonym for anything way small.
But folks naturally assumed somehow that the iota had always been a lowercase I. Then they blended the meaning of small from iota and minuscule and started thinking i was called iota because it was a miniscule I. Speaking of minutia, this answer has rapidly become a collection of minutiae.
