Does anyone know why the "I" (pronounced 'eye') is an upside-down "T"?
I see that "Z" must take what would naturally be an "I" shape on a 3x3 grid, but why not use just a simple vertical line for "I"?
Is it possibly because the font should be monospaced and the reader might then mistake the distance before and after the "I" for a space?
Similarly, in siekoo[1] the “I” is also not a straight line.
Perhaps predictable character width (monospace) makes reading easier.

Some punctuation characters don't.
