I regularly type or copy-paste in # (numbers signs)/ hashtags in to the Caption filed in IPTC
Lately I've noticed the # changed to a 0 (zero) when going back and viewing the data.
ex;
#photography #photooftheday #create
turns into
0photography 0photooftheday 0create
It didn't do this a few version ago.
Funny the caption field has no problem with emoji's or other accents or characters
I have the settings of
Metadata > IPTC
Default encoding = UTF-8
[checked] Use UTF-8 to write IPTC fields
