The new indicator for topics has problems with things that are allowed in the topic title.

Note: this is from [http://what.thedailywtf.com/category/meta/one-post](http://what.thedailywtf.com/category/meta/one-post) and looks like it is due to unicode support in the topic titles (at least that is where the NEW is showing).

Edit: specifically the LTR and RTL overrides.
