Seems to only be happening to the adfree version, normal youtube didn't have this issue when I still had it installed. Only seems to be affecting some videos.

Probably because of font. The app is does not supports different font and this is why it shows the titles as squares.

itsRealM12C commented 1 month ago

I mean the app does supports the font but the creator used a website for different font and does not supports it.

I think Lmao Clip is speaking squares xD Videos title is literally "[][][] [][][][][][] [][][] [][] [][][][][] [][][].".

It's not a different font. The squares are shown for non-standard unicode characters. It also happens with smileys.

The example from the screenshot provided in the first comment looks like this on a PC: grafik Link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX6HW7DFYwE

When you copy and paste some of those bold looking characters to https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/ you'll see that those are actually different unicode characters. The first character of the example video title is https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+1D5D5 A normal "B" is https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+0042

On PC it supports the unicode but on TV not except if you using official version of YouTube.

I assume this was tested on the new cobalt-based official app. Can someone try this on the WAM version?
