| − | After the update to {{w|Apple Inc.|Apple's}} {{w|IOS_11#11.1|iOS 11.1}}, many (though not all) {{w|iPhone}} users suffered from a strange bug, where the {{w|autocorrection}} changed any input of the single lowercase letter "i" to either "A" or "!" followed by a space and a Unicode {{w|Specials_(Unicode_block)#Replacement_character|replacement character}} (on iOS displayed as a question mark in a square). So the result of typing "i took" might be "A � took" or "! � took".

| − | The codes in the title text refer to "A �" and "! �" respectively. The text provides a way to keep the "bug" active, even after it is patched. This is a fairly silly concept, as not many people would need to type "A �" more than they would need to type "i". [citation needed]
