Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood
Recently (last month or so) all videos I download from YouTube use "full-width" special characters. (such as question mark, explication mark, colon, semicolon, &c.)
Other characters such as [A-Za-z] are "normal".
The video name appears to be "normal" in the json file from --write-info-json so I guess there must be some problem when naming the actual video file?
Example of "full-width" special character ？(U+FF1F) vs "normal" value ?(U+003F)
