I think it's spoken about someone- like they have that special something. Is it Je ne se quoi?

It's used to describe the indescribable characteristics, usually of a person or place. Like many foreign languages, it's one of those phrases that loses something in the translation. "I don't know what" is literal, but it's more like "I can't put my finger on it, but I like it."

It's correct writing in french is "je ne sais quoi" and it means I dont know what....

It means 'I don't know what'. As in "he has a certain..I don't know what about him that makes him mysterious".

It means I don't know, or I don't know what.
