Diacritical marks not displaying in Languages?

I have 4 books written in the Tigré language.
In the language column of my catalogue, and in the book details, the language is displayed as Tigr� (whether primary or original).
See, for instance:
https://www.librarything.com/work/25978530/details/

There's the same problem with some of the other languages I've tested - Volap�k, Proven�al (to 1500), Moor�, Luise�o, G�, Aljam�a...

Norwegian (Bokmål) displays correctly so it looks as though it's just a problem with the extended set of languages.

(Firefox 84.0.2 (64-bit))

Confirmed in catalog view. Passing to devs, thanks for the report!

We need to replicate this with source-adding—find the source they used to add it, and see if it's still broken.

>3 timspalding: No, it's not a source problem - it's a LibraryThing display problem.

timspalding (#3):



The issue appears in the OP's catalog for multiple sources including manual entry. The mark does show correctly in the dropdown list of languages when choosing a language.

1. go to your Display Style Settings (https://www.librarything.com/settings/display) and make sure that Language is in one of the Styles.
2. go to https://www.librarything.com/catalog/newcrossbooks?&deepsearch=People%27s%20... and look at the only title in that search.

Bug: We're not displaying Tigré properly. (tested in Chrome)
