Someone wanted to delete this paragraph: It looks exactly like uppercase Latin letter I and has no lowercase form. As of 2004, palochka cannot be readily entered or displayed on most computer systems, so it is usually replaced with Latin letter I, or sometimes even with the digit 1, although technically this is incorrect. with this comment: (1) It only looks like I when I doesn't have lines at the top and bottom; 2) it is present in Unicode which is supported by Windows XP, Windows 2000, Linux, MacOSX...

First, palochka has many forms, including serif forms. Second, while palochka is included in Unicode, still very often it will not show up on screen or on paper. E.g. Internet Explorer won't show it until you specify a font containing palochka. And there is no way to enter palochka on a keyboard directly (but you can select in in Character Map). — Monedula 08:56, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

According to http://www.unicode.org/alloc/Pipeline.html , Unicode Consortium and ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2 are planning to add the small letter palochka in a newer version of Unicode (at 04CF). --Hello World! 14:44, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
