If I try something like \u{i}, I get both the breve and the dot. How can I get it without the dot?

Welcome to TeX.sx! A tip: You can use backticks ` to mark your inline code as I did in my edit. – doncherry Jul 3 '12 at 0:51
Thanks. Will do – cloudraven Jul 3 '12 at 1:23
this is a pretty basic question. i suggest reading a good introduction. "the not so short introduction to LaTeX2e" (texdoc lshort if you're using a system based on tex live) is a good place to start. this topic is addressed on p.24 in the section "accents and special characters". – barbara beeton Jul 3 '12 at 13:16

The dotless i is \i; so you would want \u{\i}. (A dotless j is, likewise, \j).
