Can’t type the letter I️ , showing up weird. A little box or the letter A and a question mark inside of a box.

Even typing the letter I in my question this text just now is showing up weird. It shows up in my autocorrect too. What is this and how do I make it go away? Screenshots attached to show what I’m seeing. I’ve turned my phone on and off, done a hard reset, and checked my keyboard shortcuts.

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:

  1. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement.
  2. Tap User uploaded file.
  3. For Phrase, type an upper-case "I". For Shortcut, type a lower-case "i."
