Whenever I use a unicode character words in a title or any other text field, the app converts it into question marks characters e.g. "Shiv Mahima-परमविदुषो यद्यसदृशी", gets written in as "Shiv Mahima-???? ??????????".

Does anyone know how could I keep the original unicode words? I could not find any solution from the "Preference" setting of the app.
