Random unwanted characters when typing

A few days ago I updated to 13.1.2 on my iPhone 8.

Ever since then, random unwanted characters keep appearing when I'm typing. This happens in all programs I've used for typing. Web, email, notes, etc.

So far, the characters or character-groups that have dropped in out of nowhere are: b, CB, BB, FB and CNN. It happens a lot.

What the heck is this all about? It's very annoying. How do I get rid of it?

Last night I upgraded to 13.1.3 in hopes that included a fix, but it made no difference.

iPhone 8, iOS 13
