I am trying to teach myself how to read sheet music. I looked up the sheet music for Stars by Dan Fogelberg. It's a guitar piece but I searched for piano score. Idk what all the dotted capital I's are that are residing where I expect notes to be.

I can't see where you are referencing, but is this what you mean by a dotted capital I?

This is an eighth note rest (meaning don't play for the length of an eighth note). It's the only thing I could think of that looks similar to what you describe and replaces notes.
