Unicode Characters In Title Going Away?

Noticed that the www-lm data center is filtering out all the nifty unicode characters from the results this morning (stars, arrows, etc.) They aren't removing the entries altogether, just removing the specific characters from the results.

Maybe they are testing it on a single data center, or maybe they are already deploying it and will show up across all data centers shortly.
