Incorrectly escaped Unicode characters#

Sometimes, Unicode characters were encoded
incorrectly. Symbols like \u<xxxx>
were saved as either \\u<xxxx>
or
u<xxxx>
. Thus, instead of showing the non-ascii symbols, they are shown as
gibberish in the UI. This is addressed in the Nuxt front end. When data refresh
is run, the incorrect values can be replaced if the upsert_strategy
for the
column is newest_non_null
. However, for the strategies that update the value
instead of replacing it, this results in duplication of the values. Thus, some
items have duplicated tags: the correctly-encoded tags cannot replace the
incorrectly-encoded tags because they are different.
