Emby for Android 3.5.28 does not support Unicode characters in subtitles

[ThomasPdt 4]

Hi,

I noticed that the Emby for Android app (version 3.5.28) replaces Unicode characters in SRT subtitles with rectangles (for example, the Unicode character for the music symbol).

I tested the same subtitle in the Emby for Android TV app and that one shows the Unicode characters correctly.

Could admins update the app to support Unicode characters in subtitles ?

Thanks in advance

Problem has been there since the app was first released and I'm hoping Luke can address the problem soon.  I've gone back to primarily using the Samsung app now because of it.

Here Luke mentions maybe custom building a new font
