Greek letters are not shown correctly in search results
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

The android app shows greek letter 'μ' as 'M' in search results. I guess this is the case for other greek letters also. This might mislead users as they might misinterpret the article title.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Search general recursive in the app

Expected behaviour
The first result is shown as μ-recursive function

Actual behaviour
The first result is shown as M-recursive function

This is not specific to the Android app. This is an issue for the general Search interface.

The page title shown on the screen is being shown correctly - but it looks like there is something going on in the wikitext that is causing this.
