[Bug] Apostrophe character (U+2019 ’ Right Single Quotation Mark) in names does not display correctly

[jroyvde]

Description

A variant of the apostrophe character (’ as opposed to '), which seems to be commonly used in album & song titles, does not display correctly in the app. This occurs regardless of which font is selected in the app's settings. The issue may also apply to other less-common unicode characters, but I haven't done any further testing.

Steps to Reproduce

Add a song with the ’ character in its name to Symphony.

Expected Behavior

The character should display normally.

Open the song's information dialog and check if the ID ends with some suffix (eg. 1234-xx). If it does, the song was scanned using MediaMetadataRetriever which does not correctly handle unicode. Does the song have any metadata?

[jroyvde]

The song's ID is 1733976723231.0.mr, don't know if the .mr part is the suffix you mentioned or not.

I've checked it out in a metadata viewer and it looks OK there.

Yup, that suffix is what I was asking for. Seems like Metaphony could not parse that song. Could you send the song here in a zip?

Sure, here it is.

Hi,

I had a similar issue to this (but with other characters).

The artist is called "+/-" (Plus/Minus) but Symphony just recognize it as "-", and deactivating the Metaphony metadata decoder, when I played that artist, crashed it.
