'Slash' in a world description turns to an invalid symbol

I updated my word description over the webpage and added a link to a Discord server. After saving, the slash in the url turns to a weird symbol (looks a sort of a slash, but it isn't). Copy & pasting the url doesn't work because of a invalid char.

The following correspondence in profile fields and group announcement posts has been replaced by Unicode characters, making it very difficult to copy-paste into the address field to access the site.
If it is an intentional behavior, an announcement is necessary. If it is an unintentional normalization, we would like to see a fix.
Colon -> U+02F8 MODIFIER LETTER RAISED COLON
Period -> U+2024 ONE DOT LEADER
Slash -> U+2044 FRACTION SLASH

This is the case for pretty much all the user inputted text - bios, statuses etc.. And a whole lot more special characters. Happens when you input in-game too. This is very likely a server side thing.

The dot is an invalid char too, when copy & pasting a link out from a world description.

It would be nice if this behavior was documented if it is intentional. To me, it seems like bizarre anti-spam measures I've never seen utilized elsewhere.
