On any mobile device, if you copy a paragraph in the Russian Wikipedia and paste it into the discussion window, the text contains incorrectly displayed characters.

I took “any mobile device” (an Android 16 phone with Firefox 148), and couldn’t reproduce this on Обсуждение:Сент-Клэр, Дейн. Please be more specific:
- Which operating system (including version)?
- Which browser (including version)?
- On which page?
- Can you reproduce this in safe mode? If not, it’s probably caused by a gadget or user script (or sitewide script) interacting with DiscussionTools badly.

When attempting to copy more than one paragraph of text from the clipboard, it's impossible to immediately add a subject. Trying to correct this adds a second space between the paragraphs. The next time you tap the screen, the top paragraph will be permanently deleted.
Now I'll try to answer your questions:
- I'm using an Android 13 phone with Chrome 146.
- On any page: be it a discussion about a Wikipedia article or a discussion about a Wikipedia user.
- Well, the problem only occurs when adding content via "Add Topic"/"Start Discussion." This doesn't happen in a regular code editor.
