I’m having issues rendering unicode characters in YAML front matter, as in MWE below. I’ve played around with the Markup configuration (unsafe rendering of HTML…), to no avail…

title: Hello – World
---

You could rethink how your title frontmatter is handled. It might be run through .Render or .markdownify or some custom function or not be parsed at all. So the issue is within the layout file that displays the title where you wish to see it.
