@pinpontitit commented on GitHub (Jun 2, 2022):

I can reproduce it with same version of Firefox, but only if I modify the bookmark and give it the title provided in your post.

However, if I directly create a bookmark from the link you provided, Firefox will automatically use a different character than the one (�) that you gave, and then syncing works.

And if you use Chrome when bookmarking the link, you can notice that Chrome will automatically and simply erase the symbol on the title.

Github also cannot make difference between those symbols. (I suppose the symbol I see in your comment is not the same than the one you wrote, and github changed it, no ?)

So I guess that you reached a problem that even browsers aren't able to handle without changing the title.

Does it happen a lot to you, that you bookmark or uses websites with this symbol on the title ?
or it was the only one ever ?

Just for pleasure : In your language, what does this symbol (or word) mean ? because of course I cannot see it.

I don't know either, I just suddenly found out that I couldn't synchronize, so I spent time locating the cause of the problem, and found that this url caused an exception.
It doesn't matter if this problem is not fixed, after all, the title of the bookmark can be manually adjusted.

Right.
However it's true that the Error message could be more explicit for the user.

Like this they know that they can fix it themselves by changing the title.

For example, before all the technical content (if this content is truly needed by the user):

"There is 1 or more invalid characters in the bookmark title, please change or remove those".

Hi,
I have the same bug with another asian URL
I can reproduce this bug with Librewolf 116.0-1 + Firefox 102.13.0esr on debian 12

https://rtrp.jp/articles/43475

Firefox

Firefox assigned bookmark name: "《長崎》美しき日本を再発見！長崎のフォトジェニックな絶景スポット5選 | RETRIP[リトリップ]"

Firefox Library's screenshot

In my case, If you look in the page at the article's title after "見！" it seems the character is even missing from it, since Japanese does not have spaces. But if I copy and paste it to gedit then it appears as Firefox. However, at this point, I do not understand what character is.

page title's screenshot

Brave

Creating the same bookmark with Brave, the character in the name is replaced with a space and have no issue with floccus. But if you copy the title inside the article to gedit, then it appears.
