Weird squares in bio #890

Open alexanderadam opened 2 weeks ago

alexanderadam commented 2 weeks ago

Describe the bug

In the Android client I'm seeing squares before and after the URL of the Helvetic Ruby bio. This doesn't happen on iOS or the web view but on the Android app and its forks (i.e. Moshidon).

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://ruby.social/@helvetic_ruby
  2. Have a look at the characters before and after the URL in the bio

Version

Mastodon version: v2.6.1 (112)

This happens on a Pixel 8 Pro in Android 14

That's U+2029 PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR. I have no idea why Android sometimes decides to render these kinds of characters as squares.

All apps that use Android's native text rendering (browsers don't) are affected. It happens on Tusky as well, for example. Screenshot_20240928-090529

I see. I'm not sure whether this was the right place but I created an Android issue for this.
