  • Ticket #64284 – Description

    initial v4  
    1 We had an issue where user thought they were entering an x (Latin Small Letter X (U+0078)) but they were actually entering the multiplication symbol (Multiplication Sign (U+00D7)). An "x" did not show up in the slug which lead to some issues. Might suggest disallowing Multiplication Sign (U+00D7) from titles.

     3The multiplication symbol can be replaced with "x" automatically when sanitizing the title for use in a slug. Core does similarly for dashes which get replaced with hyphens via `sanitize_title_with_dashes()`. This was touched in the 6.9 release in #64089.
