Community ad replaces characters with question marks

Recently, I saw this community ad:

![Question marks replace unknown characters in community ad](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/pHuvDgprsUxJ6TVJfr6VnbZs)

The actual title is [*'Caution' and 'cautious' with ʃ or ʒ?*](https://languages.codidact.com/posts/280661) The IPA characters seem to be unknown to whatever is rendering the ad, and so they were replaced by question marks. This is bad for obvious reasons, especially since L&L, by nature, will likely have many such titles containing non-alphanumeric characters.
