Ismini keycaps
On a Powerbook 140 with US System 7.0.1, the Ismini font has the key layout shown (To change the layout, ResEdit the KCHR.): 

Quirks with the Ismini font: 

Smooth-breathed circumflex iota is missing, use ≠i. You can use overstrike if your word processor supports it.

Circumflex alone (option-; + space) is inconsistent (Postscript printer prints tilde).

Who was |Ism¸nh (Ismene)? Sister of Eteocles, Polynices, and Antigone, the children (and half-siblings) of Oedipus. Eteocles and Polynices killed each other in the battle of the Seven Against Thebes, and Antigone was buried alive by her uncle Creon for burying Polynices (who had been trying to regain his right to share the Theban throne with Eteocles’).
