Albums with a "\" character display incorrectly in search results

Albums with a "\" character display incorrectly in search results

This is a bug report

 

On my LG G5 (H860) running Android 7.0 on Spotify version 8.4.19.792 armv7

If I search for "Starrah Rush" the first song result is on the album "¯\_(ツ)_ / ¯"

Unfortunately his left arm is missing and it's displayed as "¯_(ツ)_ / ¯". I'd guess this is because "\" is a java escape character http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/data/characters.html and needs to be escaped.

The album title renders fine in some other contexts, so it might just be the search view that's weird. Not sure if the title/artist have the same issue.

It's the same on the desktop client by the way.
