bug in non alphanumeric characters in mobile view

hello,

there is a bug in mobile view in hebrew language that when people insert new questions in hebrew, the title is converted to “URL ASCII encoding reference”.

for instance, the character Ë is converted to %CB.

this bug only happens in mobile view, and in pc view the question title is shown correctly in hebrew, and nothing is being converted to ASCII.

how can i fix this so that also in mobile view, titles will show in regular hebrew?

greetings,

You need to make sure that the content-type of the page is the correct one – normally UTF-8 would work for all languages.
You can use a meta tag within the head element:

<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

For Hebrew it is iso-8859-8.

<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-8">

You can add the meta to the header.php file.
Hope this helps!
