For Croatia under the lists of children (counties, and then municipalities) names are misspelled whenever they contain Croatian characters č,ć, š,ž.
They are replaced by c for every č or ć, and by ‘�’ for every š or ž. The letter đ is displayed correctly.

Under: Task - Geographic area lookup
type in Croatia – search
choose Croatia whose parent is Earth

Example: https://sandbox.taxonworks.org/geographic_areas/6906

�ibensko-Kninska - should be Šibensko-Kninska

There is no rule to fix this, both c and � are replacing different letters (č, ć and š,ž respectively), so should be updated from the correct source or hand-corrected.

Ana Ješovnik, University of Zagreb (can hand correct if needed)

Looking https://sandbox.taxonworks.org/geographic_areas/57 I get this on Firefox:

However, it looks that indeed there are wrong characters, since using the inspector reveals problems:

Your Firefox example has those same letters simply dropped (not displayed). Example: bullet 5 is ibensko-Kninska instead of Šibensko-Kninska.
