This doesn't seem to have happened on dev.tiki.org or the other next servers (see the chevrons char in between admin and features on https://next.tiki.org/tiki-admin.php and compare with https://nextdoc.tiki.org/tiki-admin.php)
So maybe this is something caused by the next dogfooding upgrade script on tiki.org? Or an underlying problem with the encoding there?

> https://dev.tiki.org/item5300 : This problem exists on next.tiki.org. But when I tried to reproduce the problem by upgrading a copy of the tiki.org backup dump I could not reproduce it.

Fixed. Tiki.org had adodb disabled:

// $api_tiki = 'adodb';

but next.tiki.org had it enabled:

$api_tiki = 'adodb';

Disabled it for next too, now it displays correctly.
