Possible encoding issue in Music symbol settings

[hisui3393]

While reviewing the new "Music symbol" settings, I noticed what may be a small issue with the default replacement list.

The setting currently shows:

♪,â™,,,#,*,¶

The second entry appears incomplete and I wonder if it was intended to be:

♪,♫,,,#,*,¶

I also noticed a similar-looking string in the example text:

'âTª sweet dreams are' -> '♫ sweet dreams are'

This might simply be a corrupted character sequence or encoding issue, but I thought I should mention it in case it was unintended.

Thank you again for your continued work on Subtitle Edit.

Good catch — you're right, this is a bug.

The first two entries in the default Music symbol replace list are deliberately mojibake: a music symbol saved as UTF-8 but later opened as ANSI (Windows-1252). The intent is to detect that garbage and convert it back to ♪.

The correct forms are:

Symbol	UTF-8 bytes	As Windows-1252
♪ U+266A	E2 99 AA	♪ ✓
♫ U+266B	E2 99 AB	♫

The default had ♪,â™, — the second entry was â™ (only 2 chars), missing the trailing « (byte 0xAB), so ♫ mangled this way was never repaired.

Fixed in #11656.

Thanks for reporting!
