At least one system uses [i-] for barred i, and it's not likely to be
misinterpreted as much of anything else. SAMPA (which is almost the system
I use except for [&]=ae ligature and [']=primary stress, which are
officially [{] and ["]) uses [1] for that sound. I don't care much for
SAMPA, but at least it has convenient symbols for the lateral fricatives,
which are absolutely *essential* for many of my langs.

A few of my own langs:

Tirehlat ['ti4@Kat]
Ludireo [ludi'reo]
Tilya ['tilja]
Gjarrda ['J\arda]

In Tirehlat the others are called "ludireyo" ['ludi4Ej\O], "tilia"
['tilja], and "giarda" ['J\arda]. Tirehlat would probably have "tiva"
['tiva] for Tepa, but "tuiva" ['tw1va] is a distinct possibility.
