Datepicker, Next month button tooltip encoding issue?

[adalid-1]

In some languages there is some text after the word "Next" in whatever language. In my case it is swedish and the tooltip is this: Nästa» but the arrow there is in text not as an arrow. Same issue with previous month.

Added a picture of the same problem in chinese and for replication you can check here:

Thanks for the report. Does the issue you describe exist when jQuery UI 1.12.1 is used or only with jQuery UI 1.13.0 or newer?

I tried reverting this package to version 1.12.1 in our project and the problem seemed to exist there as well.

Thanks for the report. Since the issue is already in 1.12, given limited team resources it's not likely to be fixed by the UI team; see the project status at https://blog.jqueryui.com/2021/10/jquery-maintainers-update-and-transition-jquery-ui-as-part-of-overall-modernization-efforts/.

We'd welcome a PR if it's not too complex, though.

Alright, I can look into it. Thank you for your time so far.

It would seem that the arrows « and » in the tooltip is removed in english french and some languages.
Maybe I could just make a PR where I remove it from other languages as well? Fixing support for that character might prove trickier/ be more risky?

Please redirect me if I should be asking someone/somewhere else.
