I'm trying to get the near-close near-front unrounded vowel symbol into LaTeX (in the context of a dictionary-style definition). It looks like " i " but without the dot.
The closest I've got is \textsc{i}, which as you probably know is not right.

Use the tipa package for phonetic symbols.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tipa}
\begin{document}
\textipa{I}
\end{document}
If you want an i without the dot, use \i:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\i
\end{document}
Search for its unicode, check the fonts which support it (or look, if it already exists on your machine), and include it with \symbol{} of the package fontspec.
This requires Xe- or LuaLaTeX:
% arara: lualatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
\begin{document}
\symbol{"026A}
\end{document}

@Shaun, you can use this solution without needing to use
\symbolif you have a Unicode-enabled TeX editor (most are these days). You can just input ɪ directly in the editor, using an IPA keyboard or copy-and-pasting from an online IPA picker. This way you can easily write something like /ðɪs ɪz ə sɛntɨnts/ without using any LaTeX commands.Jason Zentz– Jason Zentz2014-11-12 16:21:05 +00:00Commented Nov 12, 2014 at 16:21
I think you're looking for \textsci in the tipa package.
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tipa}
\begin{document}
I \textsc{i} \textsci
\end{document}

\textsciis the same as\textipa{I}. Thetipapackage defines (all?) symbols in two ways: (1) Using shortcut characters in IPA environments (\textipa{...}), (2) Using longer macros in text environments (e.g.\textsci).Sverre– Sverre2014-11-11 14:34:27 +00:00Commented Nov 11, 2014 at 14:34
