(Firefox for Android)

When I switch to reader mode, characters such as é, è, à,... (All *very* common in French) appear as � This problem doesn't affect every page, and when it happens, the reader view first appears normal, but then switches font to a problematic one. The affected pages were reached through the internet archive, could this be what causes the issue ?

Is there a way of changing the font used by reader mode to one able to display these characters?

Some more Debug info: My phone and Firefox are both set to English, and I'd prefer to keep it that way. I use a couple extensions, but the issue persisted when I deactivated them on these pages.
