	This looks like a character encoding scheme error in whatever code the admin panel is using, or the code that sends the data back and forth from the database. Maybe it's trying to convert UTF-8 to ASCII or ISO 8859-1 or maybe something else? In the library world I work in, we used to have similar problems between MARC-8 and UTF-8, but that doesn't happen so much nowadays since most of our databases have been updated to handle the full Unicode character set.

	My teammate found a new and very serious bug. If it will not be fixed a good amount of PA database will be sooner or later damaged - actually any album with special characters will be spoiled after editing, no matter from the album page or from Admin panel. Step by step instruction how to reproduce the problem: 1. Choose any album in Admin panel and add the line with special characters: 2. Save changes, refresh the album page - changes look OK: 3. Choose the album in Admin panel once again - special characters turned to abracadabra: Edited by NotAProghead - May 12 2023 at 17:00
