[4.x]: unicode characters in CMS entry titles after migration from Wordpress using Feed me

[danfathom]

What happened?

Description

I've used Feed me to transfer all blogs over to Craft 4 from a Wordpress site (this was a while ago). This has meant that unicode character are showing in the titles. I'm able to remove these on the front-end of the site by using the {{entry.title|raw}} filte, however I am unable to remove these in the title field of the CMS.

I've tried adding {{title|raw}} into the title field in the CMS but this doesn't seem to work.

Do you have any ideas if this is possible?

Thanks!

Can you give me an example of a title that contains Unicode characters?

Of course, i've attached a screenshot below of one of the titles:

Thanks!

Is that ’ entity is encoded like that in the feed?

[danfathom]

No it's it's not in the JSON that I imported. My issue is the |raw filter works on the front end, but not when adding the manual title in the CMS like i've added in the screenshot in my opening message (if that takes sense).

Thanks,
Dan

Setting the title format to {{ title|raw }} is the same as not having a title format to begin with; you’re just telling it to set the title to the title, exactly.

(And I would not advise using title|raw in your front end templates. That introduces a major XSS vulnerability.)

Can you post the exact JSON data that was imported? Or send it to [email protected]?
