Describe the bug
The support of Hebrew & Arabic languages is lacking in the player itself. I searched for a singer and clicked enter, result is shown but Hebrew characters are missing (Screenshot 1, marked in yellow).

To Reproduce
Look for any Israeli singer/content that is named in Hebrew. eg: זוהר ארגוב / or in Arabic eg: أُمّ كُلْثُوم

Expected behavior
Only on the left bar on the side, where you can see your playlists names, Hebrew is shown correctly (Screenshot 2, marked in yellow)
It shows correctly as usual on the OG Spotify (Screenshot 3, marked in yellow)

Screenshots
Screenshot 1:

Screenshot 3:

Environment

OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Version: [2d9bdcb]

Additional context
I tried it using Arabic too but it isn't shown in the screenshots. Easy to reproduce.

That's unusual, I'll see what about the text of the results doesn't support those characters.
