News contain invalid HTML tags

Update: Not only does this still exist, but today there was a new case of invalid characters occurring, which even made your own news feed choke: <3. It was written plainly into the website’s HTML, which browsers will tolerate, even though it’s broken (screenshot 1, source code of New Pet – – Gems of War) //edit ironic side note: even the forum preview of the link chokes on the proper title...

and in the feed, fetched from Gems of War, it is completeley scrubbed from existence, screenshot 2, title of the feed, &#8211; is a dash:

expected contents: <title>New Pet &#8211; &lt;3 (Nintendo Switch)</title>

In total, the news feed is chopped off at the invalid character, so you can’t even see whether this is PC or Switch news.

Cheers, Gary.
