Description

Didn't investigate, but so far as I can see there are some character sequences that are being transformed by server into correct characters like these:
character sequence '-' will stay hyphen ('-') or gets converted to bullet point
character sequence '--' will be displayed as dash '–' (U+2013).

I see that character sequence (three dots) '...' is not converted to ellipsis '…' (U+2026).

Is there a way to do introduce this transform?

Research direction

The issue mentions server-side character transformation but names no files or tests. Start by locating the existing handling for '-' and '--', then verify where the '...' sequence is rendered; done means it consistently displays as the ellipsis character '…' without changing the existing transformations.
