Error in the snippet title with letter “à” (&agrave ;)

    I found a very strange error: if I insert, in the Title field of the Snippet section, a word ending with an “a” with grave accent (à) followed by a space, the value of the Title field is ignored, as if it were empty, and in the page appears in the <title> tag the default value “% title%% sep%% sitename%”.
    For example:

    • correct: Nuova attività
    • correct: Nuova attività?
    • wrong: Attività nuova
    • wrong: Scopri la mia nuova attività vicino a te

    I tried to test the error on pages and term pages and it always happens. I also tried other accented letters (á, è, ì, ù) but it only happens with the letter à.

    If I enter the code &avrave; the error does not occur, but as soon as it is saved again the error returns.

    Hello
    I checked and the problem occurs when the setlocale() function is used in the theme, in this case setlocale(LC_ALL, ‘it_IT’, ‘it-IT’).
    Why is this RankMath incompatibility with this function?
    Thanks

    Hello,

    Rank Math is not incompatible with the set_locale function. I tried to reproduce the issue by adding the setlocale() function and using the text with accented characters but everything seemed to work fine on my setup. Here is a screencast: https://i.rankmath.com/x6mKhU

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings on your site. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    Looking forward to helping you.

    I’m sorry but I can’t give you access to the site since it’s on localhost.

    The setlocale() function is called through the “after_setup_theme” action. Here is the code:

    function tp_language_settings(){
	global $tp_lang;
	$tp_lang = '';

	if( !defined('ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE') ){
		$tp_lang = 'it';
		setlocale(LC_ALL, 'it_IT', 'it-IT');
	}
}
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'tp_language_settings');
