Description
Hi everyone,
We have a display issue: the Greek letter lota turns gibberish in the data citation box in the UI:
when the issue occurs: since dataset creation date 2020-07-17
which page it occurs on: https://doi.org/10.21979/N9/5W3RIM
to whom it occurs: everyone
which version of Dataverse you're using: 4.19
Yet, another dataset title contains the Greek letter Lambda, and the citation box looks fine:
Anyone got the same issue? May we know how to fix it?
Thanks a lot!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the citation-box display on the linked dataset page, using the reported creation date and Dataverse 4.19 context. Trace how the Greek lota is rendered and compare it with the working Lambda example; done means the lota displays correctly for everyone without breaking other citation text.
