Adding some CK to Ildar Dadin, including his 'nom de guerre' in the Other names field, the Cyrillic version in brackets decided to display with "pipes" after each letter: "Gandhi (Г | а | н | д | и | | nom de guerre)".
The same sort of thing happened yesterday with Michel Blanc (1), where a stray pipe inserted itself into "Tenue de Soirée" in CK / Awards and honors after the accented "é": "Tenue de Soiré | e".
I guess the pipes are being added after each non-English letter. This is in Firefox, in (I think) the English version of the 'big language change'.

I'm seeing this for https://www.librarything.com/author/blancmichel-1 , on Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari (in English and in French).

>2 Felagund: Verified, looking at the "Awards and honors" CK field for "Tenue de Soirée", there's a pipe added after the "é". (It shows up fine on the Award page: https://www.librarything.com/award/3441.0.0.1986/Cannes-Film-Festival-Award-1986...

Still looking at this.

I don't know if this is related, but I've just added a published review to Karla's choice, the new posthumous John le Carré tribute novel, changing the 'smart' inverted commas of the original online article for simple inverted commas, and lo and behold, each of them are now proceeded by a slash.
The only inverted comma without a slash is the very last one of the review, which I missed, and which you can see is an angled smart inverted comma.

>6 Cynfelyn: That is not related to this, but it is another issue. I have fixed it.

This bug is still happening, including with the degree (°) symbol that I've just added to New Scientist, 28 February 2009.

Has there been any update on this? I'm still noticing this on Japanese books I've been adding to my collection.
