10.0 (14A5345a): VoiceOver pronounces $€££ as "Dollar sign U-ur"

Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
I put all my money-related apps in a home screen folder. I wanted to name the folder with a finance-related word that can be spelled with currency symbols, and the best I could come up with was $€££ (“SELL”). Not very good, but it’s my dumb little thing and I like it. The point is that VoiceOver reads it as “Dollar Sign U-ur Folder”.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Name a folder $€££, or just open Notes and add that text to a new note.
2. Get VoiceOver to read the note.

Expected Results:
VoiceOver says “Dollar Sign Euro Sign Pound Sign Pound Sign”.

Actual Results:
VoiceOver says “Dollar Sign U-ur”

Regression:
Unknown

Notes:
In the attached screen recording, you can see that it pronounces the characters correctly when read individually. It only messes up when they’re strung together.
