Why is the text on my iphone 6 disappearing after I use two dashes in a row?

[iMore Question]

After updating to iOS 11, all text I write after using double dashes -- disappears for the person receiving my text or email. Any ideas why this is happening? It happens when I use notes as well. I will see the text that I write and immediately after closing the app, all text after my double dash is gone. Any ideas why this is happening?

Welcome to iMore! Have you tried a hard reset (reboot)? You might also try Reset All Settings.
Reset All Settings
Go to Settings >General >Reset >Reset All Settings. This resets to default everything in Settings, including notifications, alerts, brightness, and clock settings like wake up alarms.

Nope. — As you can see, all text typed after the two dashes remain......As recommended above, reset your device.

I have my --set as a long hyphen — in text replacements. That may not be anything you would want, but I like the long one better than two small ones.
