@#$%/\|Special characters from thread titles on main page

[ThrillingHuman]

I have noticed that the main page doesn't seem to support chinese characters or japanese alphabets or emojis that appear in titles. Those are skipped.
Well, okay. I don't know how hard it is to make the forum widget use Unicode instead of ASCII, but nobody uses those characters much anyway.
But just now I saw that @SailusGebel's thread's title that contains characters "\" and those don't show on main page. I feel like this is a bit too much. At least those characters should show

' on the main page is as invisible as the invisible dragon

I'd guess the omitting of special characters on thread titles that appear on the homepage has to do with how the HTML widget works, and bugs could happen if certain characters were allowed with the way the code is processed.

I remember an issue happened some years back when a title with some special characters appeared on the home page, at least. It's probably related to that.
