<head><title>Title</title></head>
On Desktop machines this happens using electrons BrowserWindow, allowing it to handle extended character sets such as Chinese with no issue.
However, on mobile as we are not using the electron platform we must simply fetch the page.
Due to CORS restrictions on web servers disallowing direct fetches it uses the allorigins.win proxy to download the page. This proxy does not support other character sets and will return them as question marks.
