It is the 12th fret harmonic and played note at 12th fret!
The pressure you use at 12th fret affects the note, so only use the same pressure that you'd normally play up at that end.
I’m getting the impression that you fret pretty hard, in which case it may be that your guitars do not offer enough room for manoeuvre, to get the intonation where it needs to be for you. In that case you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place - either learn to play more lightly, or move your bridge.
But first of all, check your nuts. Once you’ve ruled out testicular cancer, then check the height of the nut on your guitar - get the strings in tune and check that they’re still in tune when you fret the first few frets. Don’t bother thinking about intonation until you’ve done that. But if you have, then be prepared, as above, for some unpalatable choices. Factory built guitars are built for the average, and if you differ sufficiently far from the average, I’m afraid life is going to be hard.
