The letters "BBC" randomly appear in my text messages...

I recently purchased a iPhone 7 another person. It was set to factory default, etc. Lately, when typing a text message (or imessage) the letters "BBC" appear, as if it were predictive text. It's not predictive text. It appears in random places and has nothing to do with what I am typing. What can I do to stop this? Thank you!

I have done this twice, as well as erased the entire phone. It shows up randomly, but typically 2 -3 times in one sentence, often after the space bar. The same questioned was posted in December by someone else and I think there were 78 other people who said they had the same problem.
