Wikipedia's article on tetration has a table of successive tetrations of $i$ that seems to imply that $^{\infty}i$ converges, and my own experimentation seems to confirm it, but I'm suspicious of purely numerical results like that, and the article itself has no references for this portion of the text. Is the exact value known, or is the figure of approximately $0.4383 + 0.3606i$ quoted in that article the best that can be done?

You can express it in terms of the product log function or the W function but I do not believe it can be expressed in simpler terms.
$$^\infty i = \dfrac{\operatorname{W}(-\log(i))}{-\log(i)}$$
$$^\infty i = \dfrac{\operatorname{W}(-\dfrac{i\pi}{2})}{-\dfrac{i\pi}{2}}$$
$$^\infty i = \dfrac{2i\operatorname{W}(-\dfrac{i\pi}{2})}{{\pi}}$$
If you are looking for high precision here are quite a few digits:
