My "I" key is unresponsive after recent update.

Which machine? If its a modern apple notebook it is probably just the (at this point, standard failure of the) keyboard, and just a coincidence that it's started to happen the same time as your macOS update.
For what it is worth, my I key works fine on my 2015 running the most recent macOS.

Late 2012 rMBP.
Never had any issues whatsoever with the keyboard until the latest update.
You will hardly find anybody who will not agree with throAU that updates do not cause malfunctions in keyboards.
It is no doubt a timely coincidence.
Software changes can disrupt the work of a computer but in an entirely different way.
try creating a 'test' user account, see if it happens there. try resetting the nvram, the smc (google for your mac model). or try running the combo updater...

if it is a software gremlin, should be possible to get things back to normal.

Alternatively, try to boot from USB with another OS to confirm whether or not the I key works there.
Try a PRAM reset. Turn your machine off, hold command + option + P + R and while holding, turn on the machine. It'll chime, restart, then on the next chime (after restart) you can release the keys.
After troubleshooting a bunch of different nonsense (I even restored and fresh install OS again) I was able to finally solve the issue:
I simply added another keyboard source in system preferences and voila, problem solved.
