Cyrillic iota?

[telophase]

Does anyone here have or can point me to an image that is unambiguously Cyrillic iota? My computer doesn't have the proper character set installed, so all I get is the glyph that says I don't ahve the character set installed.

And before you do a simple Google image search and point me there: I've done it, and found nothing that unambiguously says "This is the Cyrillic iota." The image on the Wikipedia page above is named "Cyrillic letter dzhe" and is thus not an iota, I believe.

Bonus points if it's in an interesting font.

ETA: It's entirely possible it's the one that looks like I and i, but I can't find anything that specifically says so. :/

ETA2: Found it (although still can't read it) on this Wikipedia page about the Cyrillic Unicode block, under "Old Cyrillic Alphabets."

ETA3: Paydirt! PDF of Unicode 5.2 characters. Cyrillic Iota is A646 (capital) and A647 (small).

Now you have me all curious about how you came across such an archaic Cyrillic character and why you need it. :D

Toby's making an iPad app and needs graphics for it - at the moment its name is "Iotas" and I was looking for iota characters to manipulate to make the logo. :)

Too bad iota is pretty boring looking. But there are some cool iotified Cyrillic characters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ѩ is one.

The plain Cyrillic iota is so uncommon I don't even have it in any of my fonts, even though I do have lots of other obscure characters. XD

Hah, Dreamwidth doesn't even recognize "Ѩ" as part of the URL. That'll teach me to be lazy. Working link:

These wikipedia articles might help - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%86 or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_%28Cyrillic%29.

It looks like there is one letter that is derived from iota (it looks like an I/i but isn't used in Russian) and one letter called izhe. The izhe is the backwards N looking letter, and is used in Russian to represent a long e (like i in machine).

Unfortunately, I've found those and they're still on the ambiguous side - the best I've found yet is the page linked above about the Unicode block, which says it's from the old Cyrillic alphabet (and which I think was thrown out as part of an early 20th century reform).

Toby's rebooting his Mac to see if it's got the full Unicode set on it.
