As the title says, long non-english song titles sometimes have this bug when truncated.
Polybar log error:
polybar|warn: Dropping unmatched character (U+0011) in ' Твин Пикс - По шанхай�.'
The bar gets completely blanked out and blurred by my compositer (picom). And if I kill picom it will just be a blank black line.
Also I have noticed that some non-english titles get truncated as normal but some cause this. The non-english titles that broke it with me is Russian and Arabic characters.
Steps to reproduce:
Polybar module:
[module/spotify]
type = custom/ipc
; Default
hook-0 = echo ""
; Playing/paused show song name and artist
hook-1 = spotifyctl -q status --format '%artist% - %title%' --max-length 50 --max-title-length 20 --max-artist-length 20 --trunc '..'

Also here is an example of a song witch Russian characters that gets truncated normally:

I have tried to fix by messing with truncating function in
utils.c
but I couldn't figure it out.
