I wish that the Lemmy Web UI “suggest title” code would do one of:
Translate HTML entities to their Unicode equivalent, which is what the Web UI actually wants in that field
Change the Lemmy Web UI’s title field to support HTML entities.
I have to manually clean up titles myself on a not-irregular basis, usually because of various dash-like characters, like em- or en-dashes, or typographic quotes.
Oddly-enough, it doesn’t on lemmy.today’s Web UI, but it looks fine on beehaw.org’s Web UI. Not sure if there’s some sort of problem with propagating updates, or if it just takes a while, but I reckon that you’ve done the right thing if it looks fine now on the instance hosting the community.
Oh, it’s because Beehaw wants to move away from lemmy and onto sublinks when it is done, and are stuck on this version of lemmy until it is as upgrading would break things as they are now from our understanding.
OP, you might want to manually clean that up.

Thank you! Did that fix it?
