Current Behavior
When the title of a window contains a paragraph separator unicode character depending on the chosen font the string might be shown with the paragraph inserted (so a linebreak is shown), which makes the text unreadable. (This might also apply to other characters as well...)
Expected Behavior
The title should be readable and the control characters should probably be replaced by spaces or a replacement character ("�") for display in the title no matter which font is chosen.
Reproduction Instructions
Set a font for the title that properly renders U+2029 (e.g. put font pango:System San Francisco Display 11 into your i3 config)
# It depends on the font - with the default font I get rendered an empty box (it might depend on the font and be a replacement character as well )
font pango:System San Francisco Display 11
