The UTC's position on jnodot is that there's no evidence that it's actually used as a *character* anywhere, as opposed to a glyph fragment used to construct various kinds of accented j's. Unicode prescribes that i and j lose their dot if another accent is placed on them (if you need the dot as well, as in Lithuanian, you use an explicit dot accent). When the Finno-Ugric Phonetic Alphabet is encoded, this position may be reconsidered.
