To a square? Sounds like you're missing an emoji? Are you on iOS 11.1 which was recently released?

It’s also correcting “it” to “It”.

I think it’s a classic Google bomb type thing. The It correction must have triggered someone to recognize a flaw in the autocorrect algorithm. They then capitalized on it and made “I” = “A [some emoji, likely representing a penis or the like]”. That’s just my assumption.

So i figured out a way to correct it in text messages.

Go to your phone settings, general. Keyboard. Then go to text replacement and put I and I. It doesn’t fix it when typing outside of text messages, but it’s a start.
