[B-Greek] Iota subscript with uppercase?

Does koine and/or classical treat the iota in, say, the word hAiDHS or
HiDEIN [pluperf of OIDA] as an iota *subscript* ~if~ the word is
capitalized? I know that it is not *written* below an uppercase letter; if
written, it appears (I assume) as a normal iota to the right of the capital.
I hadn't ever thought of this situation, so in the Unicode version of my
Galilee font I did not include the code points for uppercase letters with
"iota adscript"--assuming that they didn't occur in the NT (partly because
the Unicode chart shows the iota as a smaller iota, but I've been told that
the Unicode charts are in error at this point). I don't know if either of
the two forms cited above do occur in the NT (or if there might be other
such instances that do), but would guess that some such combination is at
least theoretically possible.
(I'm at home tonight, so don't have any resources at hand to check.)
Thanks,
