That has been fixed with the iOS 11.1.1 update: If you type the letter “i” and it autocorrects to an “A” with a symbol - Apple Support and iOS 11.1.1 Update Available to Download, Fixes Question Mark Bug


This is the first I've read about it affecting Macs. What latest macOS update are your referring to? Try downloading and applying this one again: macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 update
