In fact, it might be hard at a glance to tell whether you're missing an emoji that your system doesn't support, or if it's due to this iOS bug. If you're just seeing this in tweets from your friends or other people across the web, I'm sorry to say but there isn't much you can do about it. The correct behaviour should be to ignore the invisible variation selector if the previous character doesn't have an emoji version. When used in conjunction with the letter "I" it displays in some apps as "A ⍰". This VS-16 character is intended to be used to make the previous character have emoji appearance. What's really going on is that the letter "I" is being appended with an invisible character known as Variation Selector 16 when auto-correct kicks in to replace the lowercase "i". This isn't ideal, but the document does note this is only “until it’s fixed in a future software update”.
The suggested workaround for this bug is to use the text replacement feature built into iOS: “If you updated your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iOS 11.1 and find that when you type the letter “i” it autocorrects to the letter “A” with a symbol”Ībove: How this bug looks to affected iOS 11.1 users. In a support document, Apple explains the issue: Joanna Stern at The Wall Street Journal reports that the issue will be resolved in this week’s public and developer beta releases.

Apple has confirmed a bug in iOS which causes "question mark boxes" to appear in place of the letter “i”.
