The short "i". 

What is rendering the Swedish short “i” as [ı] in IPA based on? This is the same sound as the short “i” in English "hit" or German "mit" and if you ask me these sounds are in no way similar to the Swedish sound. To me the Swedish short “i” is simply the same (in quality) as the long “i” i.e it should be [i]. This is not the first time I’ve seen this and I’m curious to know where it comes from, I feel it is an obvious error and yet it keeps on being repeated in various forums.
