Hi Otared

I think what doesn’t work is the dotless i as combining character for i
+ diacritical mark.

It seems that standard i may combine fine:

  \setupinteractionscreen[option=max]
  \starttext
  \startTEXpage[offset=1ex]
  %\i
  %\'{\i}
  %\^{\i}
  \'{i}
  \^{i}
  \stopTEXpage
  \stoptext

And \i outputs a dotless i.

Just in case it helps,
