Usually ampersands are the biggest culprit, but is it just a really sacred data type that can't be upgraded to include punctuation, but can include the foreign looking wingdings that try to stand in for it?

I'm just confused on why those characters have multi character reference names that aren't part of the regular alphabet or punctuation set either, but those still show up instead of having room to just remove the erroneous reference with the actual character.

It's 2026, just dig out this fossil and fix it already.

the wrong UTF encoding is usually the issue
