In the fallback function in the result setting, if a special character is included, there is a problem that the special character is cut off in the result value (snippetset). What should I do to solve this?

```auto
"title_en": {
    "raw": "New listing: Bitfinex (21 December 2021).",
    "snippet": "New listing: Bitfinex (21 December 2021"
  },

```

Hi Junyoung Kim,

I just wanted to let you know that I've reproduced your example and am filing a bug issue internally. I don't know of a workaround at this time but will let you know if I find anything that can be done once I get a test case written up.

One question - what version of App Search are you running?

Thank you for reporting!
