While many would have ignored, some of you might have wondered what the dots over i and j are called. The dot is called a 'tittle', known to be a combination of words 'tiny' and 'little'. Also known as superscript dot, it refers to a small stroke or dot in writing or printing. The word is derived from Latin word 'titulus' and aims to distinguish letters with vertical strokes such as u, m, and n.
