What is the name of the dot above the i?

A tittle or superscript dot is a small distinguishing mark, such as a diacritic in the form of a dot on a lowercase i or j. The tittle is an integral part of the glyph of i and j, but diacritic dots can appear over other letters in various languages.

Can capital I have a dot?

One of them (İ, i) has a dot above it and the other (I, ı) does not. This is true in both the capital and lower case forms of the letters (see the picture). The dotless I has the /ɯ/ sound, while the dotted İ has the /i/ sound.
