Same as the dot above the letter j, a dot.

It's called a "pip". Also, the curvy line above the Spanish letter "n" is called a "tilde", and the two dots above the German letter "o" is called an "umlaut". Three dots at the end of a sentence is called an "ellipsis."

It's called a 'tittle', which means the smallest thing.
In Greek the letter 'i' was called 'iota' and came to be what we call a 'jot' - for something small or insignificant..
It didn't have the 'dot' in Greek. The 'tittle', thereefore, was even less significant than the 'jot'.
In the Bible, older versions, there is a reference to Jesus saying "not one jot or one tittle of the (Jewish/Old Testament)Law" would be done away with[Matthew 5:18], meaning even the apparently most insignificant piece would be preserved or made complete.
It is technically one of the "diacritical marks".

It's called a 'dot'. Have you never heard the expression about 'dotting your 'i's and crossing your 't's?

It dosn't have a name. It is just the "dot" above the lowercase letter i.

Must be a jot, just like above the lowercase 'j', which everybody forgets about! Either that, or its a tittle, IDK.
