Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G.
Android 13
Boinc 7.18.1

Hi there!
I am using Boinc on my Android device and it's been working flawlessly so far until yesterday. I joined a team in World Community Grid and the correct name (España) is not properly displayed on Boinc. The letter 'ñ' is a non-English character and I am pretty sure that is the reason why it is not properly displayed.
However, it is weird since in my name (José Ángel) there are other non-English characters (é, Á) that are properly displayed on the app.
Please, take a look at the screenshot on this link:

I don't know if this is a Boinc-related issue or a World Community Grid issue.

Thank you so much for your help.
José Ángel

Or an Android issue where it doesn't know how to show those characters due to it using a different character set.
