Why does Safari change my symbol input on Apple iMac when searching on a Broker site?

Safari changes my symbol input when I search on my Broker site. It dosen't happen on Chrome. Example when I sometimes look up a symbol such as AGNC I might get ANCM? Any solution??

More Safari gibberish in a long line of Safari gibberish After updating to Sonoma and Safari 17, certain websites can't display readable text. I have read similar descriptions that go back to 2004 with all manner of complicated solutions that don't seem to work in 2023. Here a screenshot from Strava's website: I can select the gibberish and paste it into Text Edit and it's readable. Why only certain websites? Seems like any adjustments I make to my Mac couldn't possibly affect a problem that seems rooted in individual website's code, no? -D

cannot type in Launchpad search bar | esc key won't escape after Ventura security update The following problems started happening after installing the latest Ventura security update 13.4.1 (c) on my 2020 M1 Mac Air. When I click on the Launchpad icon in the dock, Launchpad opens. When I type the name of an app in the Search window, no characters appear. I exit Launchpad. However, what I typed in the Launchpad Search window appears in the a) body body of text editors (Pages 13.1 or TextEdit 1.18) or b) in the address bar in whichever browser I'm using (Firefox 115.0.2, Safari 16.5.2). If I'm in a text editor when I try to search for an app, the text I searched for appears in the body of the text. If I'm using a browser when I try to search for an app, the text I searched for appears in that browser's address bar. Just now, while in the "provide more details" window, whatever is typed in the Launchpad Search window appears here ___

It seems to me that must be related to some auto-correct text setting. Look in Safari's Edit menu > Substitutions > Text Substitutions, or Spelling and Grammar, etc.

Text substitutions can also be found in Keyboard settings > Text, but it seems to me that would affect all apps system-wide.
