Nice example!

Special titles like [these](https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/d66d89c8-9288-4590-8bfa-770371d8f824) can also lead to unexpected displaying problems:

Another incredible example for a Release- and Artist name:

This is young people’s music that I am not interested in. Disorderly names are among the reasons that repel me.

I strictly normalize my titles to Title Case. If I am uncertain, I consult Wikipedia. “Music of the Spheres” is listed without any special characters and footnotes are provided with Saturn, Spark, Heart, etc. Usually the title will be written out somewhere, like with untitled hidden tracks, or an unofficial name will be used like with Peter Gabriel’s albums, the White Album.

[Wikipedia - Music of the Spheres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_the_Spheres_(Coldplay_album)#Track_listing)

I think drawings should be treated as other art on the sleeve that is not part of text. If there is no readable text at all to be found, I might enter “Track 1”.

Not too weird, but here's a 'subversive' example:

On MB this \*does\* read "WII" as in "W" + "I" + "I".  
It's when you search other databases (including the official site) that the truth comes out:

It's hard to make out, but here the album title reads "W" + `$char(2161)`

> **[Find all Unicode Characters from Hieroglyphs to Dingbats – Unicode Compart](https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2161)**
>
> U+2161 is the unicode hex value of the character Roman Numeral Two. Char U+2161, Encodings, HTML Entitys:Ⅱ,Ⅱ, UTF-8 (hex), UTF-16 (hex), UTF-32 (hex)
