  Iota - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The word "iota" is also used in English to express a very small amount, because iota is the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet.
The phrase derives from the introduction to the Antithesis of the Law in the Gospel of Matthew, and became common in the theological debate which arose around the time of the Nicene Creed, regarding the nature of the Holy Trinity.
The lowercase Iota symbol is sometimes used to write the imaginary unit but more often Roman i or j are used.

Iota came into English from Latin and was first pronounced "jota" and then "jote" (both with a long /o/).
Since the Greek letter iota corresponds to the Hebrew yod, which is the smallest letter in that alphabet, the original reference in the Bible was probably to the Hebrew letter.
Iota and jot were used interchangeably: "Shall we lose, or sleightly pass by, any iota or tittle of the Booke of God?" (Featly, 1636).

 Yavoh July 2004 Issue - The Jots and Tittles
You may have heard of this expression, "Not one iota has been touched or changed." Another modern version refers to it as the dot on an "i" and the crossing of a "t." Given that the New Testament manuscripts were translated from Greek, it follows that the reference would follow with this explanation.
Jots and tittles are signs given by Moses in the text of the Torah that are not translated, but every scribe copies them precisely in every Torah scroll.
This is not one of the Jots and Tittle of Moses.

Iota and Jot were designed to be as simple as possible, but neither one provides a reasonable strategy for dealing with input or output.
Note that one other small difference between Zot and Jot is that in Jot, the empty string that begins every sequence is interpreted as the identity function, whereas in Zot, this empty string is interpreted as ^c.cI.

Since the expression "*[A][B]" in Iota means the same thing as "AB" in CL (namely, functional application in which the meaning of A is applied as a function to the meaning of B), we need only establish the appropriateness of the translations of the lexical items I, K, and S.
In addition, it is easy to find a meaning-preserving mapping from Iota into CL: the semantics in the definition for Iota are given as a mapping from Iota to the lambda calculus, and there are well-known techniques for mapping the lambda calculus into CL (see, e.g., Hankin or the Unlambda page for details).
Jot's syntax is incredibly simple: every possible string consisting of 1's and 0s is grammatical, including the empty string.

 The Lazy K Programming Language
Iota and Jot style: Iota and Jot are two languages created by Chris Barker, each of which is Turing-complete with only two symbols.
Iota has a single named function and a binary application operator; Jot has two operators only (they act initially on the identity function).
Exactly the same functions can be represented in Iota and Jot as in the usual combinator calculus, but Iota and Jot programs are several times larger than their counterparts using the S, K, and I combinators.

The oldest forms of the letter, as seen in the Phenician and Samaritan, have a rude resemblance to a hand with three fingers, but by a gradual simplification, the character came to be the smallest in the alphabet, and iota, or jot, is a synonym for a trifle.
