A bug in Apple’s iOS 11.1 software prevented some users from typing the letter “i.” Instead, it would autocorrect to the letter “A” and a unicode symbol. 

But Apple on Thursday released a software update, iOS 11.1.1, to fix the issue. You can download the update by going to “settings” in your iPhone or iPad, clicking on “general” and then going to “software update.”
