Sounds like it's a Compound Path. With the outlined 'i' selected, use Object → Compound Path → Release (or just right click on it and select Release Compound Path). The shapes will then be separated and you can change the colors independently.

If you want to just move the dot of the "i":



Select all the text with the Selection tool V and right click.



Right click again and ungroup



You can then use the Direct Selection tool A and select the shape to alter the points or just click the selection tool again to move it
