Zotero does not correctly render (or extract?) subscipt formatting in article titles

TiborGY
The problem should be obvious in these pictures:

If zotero does not want to deal with subscript formatting, it could replace such tags in titles with the Unicode subscript characters: ₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉

    You may need to say more about this -- What browser? What URL for the article?

    https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2003/cp/b313251j#!divAbstract

    From the URL above when I use the import-to-Zotero browser button I get the title without any subscripts.

    "Degradation of three oxygenated alkoxy radicals of atmospheric interest: HOCH2O˙, CH3OCH2O˙, CH3OCH2OCH2O˙. RRKM theoretical study of the β-C–H bond scission and the 1,6-isomerisation kinetics"

    From the DOI placed into the magic wand
    10.1039/B313251J

    I get what you report:

    Degradation of three oxygenated alkoxy radicals of atmospheric interest: HOCH <sub>2</sub> O˙, CH <sub>3</sub> OCH <sub>2</sub> O˙, CH <sub>3</sub> OCH <sub>2</sub> OCH <sub>2</sub> O˙. RRKM theoretical study of the β-C–H bond scission and the 1,6-isomerisation kinetics

    This is the correct way currently to enter subscript characters in your item data. Rendered citations and bibliographies will display with subscript formatted characters. It’s not currently possible for the item list to show rich text (bold, italics, subscript, etc), but such support is planned for a future version.

    Note that behavior of Unicode subscript characters is inconsistent and should generally not be used in situations where markup subscript is the intended formatting. In most typefaces, these numerals are intended to be used as numerator/denominator numerals for fractions, not sub/superscripts.
