Subtitles on the Android client fails to display certain symbols like music symbol. See below example. They show fine on the web client.

Hi, what version number of the app is it?

Most likely the same problem described here which I'm still seeing it with 3.5.02.

Version 3.5.02. I noticed it previous versions.

Right the symbol is just not currently in the app's subtitle font, so that will have to be added. Thanks.

And when might that be? This default font 'bug' is really annoying.

This is beyond annoying and a basic subtitling prerequisite that should "just work".

A font issue that breaks immersion during the viewing experience is not a trivial concern. Can this PLEASE be fixed with the next update? Or a hotfix or something?

At a bare minimum (there may be others), these two Unicode characters need to display properly: ♪♫

Side note: I love the minor UI changes, additional features, and especially the collapsible sidebar menu of the new/standard Android app. It addresses one of my core issues with the old Android TV app that effectively forces you to have library tiles pinned to the home screen. But this sort of thing keeps me coming back to the old, reliable Android TV app. Sigh... one day I hope to be able to uninstall it.
