When it is requested to write letter "í
" in math mode, it happens that $\acute{i}$
is not the right answer as it could be expected: the accent (´
) is written over the letter (i
), without deleting/overwriting the upper dot (^{.})
Another possiblity to solve the problem: $\acute{\imath}$
, not always works satisfactorily. Is there another way to do it, obtaining an acceptable/appropriate character?

Best Answer
$\acute{\imath}$
is the right way. What do you mean by "not always works satisfactorily"?In general,
\imath
and its companion\jmath
should be used for the math accents:\acute{\imath}
\grave{\imath}
\dot{\imath}
(ambiguous!)\ddot{\imath}
and so on.
