.Try setting up Text Replacement for the letter "i"
Here’s what you can do to work around the issue until it’s fixed by a future software update:
.I tried Everything and this is all that worked
Settings>General>Keyboard>Text Replacement
Once you get there press the + on the top right.
Phrase- I
Shortcut- I
There is an update for iOS 11.1.1, they put this up about 2 weeks ago and it fixes those issues

I’m having this problem as well on both my iPhone 6S and I Pad Pro. Very annoying.
Have you installed the update 11.1.1 issued 10 days ago to fix this?
Go to settings then general and keyboard and turn off your auto correct see if that works that worked for me
I just had that problem..turn off autocorrect and it should work just fine
Settings>General>Keyboard> Turn off Auto-Correction

hopefully this will be resolved soon.
In fact is was resolved via update 11.1.1 more than 10 days ago.
Just updated to 11.1, issue is not fixed.
I identified the characters replacing the letter “I” as the following sequence:
As character names:
U+0049 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I character U+00EF LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DIAERESIS character (ï) U+00B8 CEDILLA character (¸) U+008F character ()
As raw characters:
Iï¸
Additionally, there must be some relationship with Emoji because my Emoji keyboard now show this as the most typed emoji, and when I touch that emoji, the inserted characters are exactly the same sequence as the autocorrected one:
Have any of the people posting here deleted any data from apps recently (in Settings>your name>iCloud>Manage Storage)? Like TextInput, Secure, or Profile?
Have you all tried resetting your device:
Cheers,

But ef b8 8f is actually the utf-8 code for the character U+FE0F, variation selector 16. A main purpose of this character is to signal emoji presentation of whatever it is attached to.

Why Apple's autocorrect is doing this is a mystery.
I spoke to Apple and got a temporary fix for this. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement. Add a text replacement where the phrase is "I" and the shortcut is "i". That solved it for me.

The update is irrelevant, but Apple put this out about the problem. Try it

I had this problem last week! I called AppleCare and they were not even able to solve it!!! We had to resort to restarting my entire phone....still didnt work! You should try going to general>keyboard>text replacement> tap on the plus> in the phrase type a capital I then in the short cut type a lower case i.
Not sure if this solves anything but I saw it on twitter by buzzfeed to try it! It's all over the internet now! It's a horrible bug lol
Can’t type the letter I️ , showing up weird. A little box or the letter A and a question mark inside of a box.
