URLs in the website are displayed with non-ascii characters

Special characters in user-written texts that are part of ASCII are displayed in the website using weird replacements (this includes parenthesis, slashes, etc.) Not only does this render very poorly, it also breaks URLs, making it extra difficult for groups to share resources with their members. This should be fixed and URLs should be automatically converted into links. Throw in a safety confirmation page (you are leaving vrchat.com, etc.) if necessary.

Hello! Thanks for reporting this. A number have updates have gone out since this post, could you confirm this issue is still occurring? If so can you provide a screenshot of the ASCII replacements?

StormRel: This isn't anything esoteric or unknown; it has always been like this. Literally post
any
group announcement with the aforementioned special characters and they'll be replaced with non-ASCII equivalents. The substitution can be seen both in the group page and in the notification. But the same problem can also be seen, for example, in user bios in the profile page!
