Text speech to stop reading "mathematical italic small {character}" for special character

When I use text speech, sometimes special character like n is read as "mathematical italic small n".

Where exactly are you getting this italic n, on what app? Some people try to to use math italics to display normal italic characters in messaging apps where the normal ones might not be available. If that's what is happening to you, I think the only way to change what text to speech does is to stop using the math italics.

italic n shows up on a website I am looking at.

Thank you, I'm guessing there isn't a way to fix for now.

That’s interesting! Can you provide the url? I’d like to check if they are really using the math stuff or it is a browser error

Sorry this page does not have “n” but it has the same problem with the “g” and “x” in the first paragraph if the “Formal definition” section.

Text to speech on my Ventura iMac and my iPad with Safari does not show this problem with g or x in that paragraph, it just reads them normally.

What device and OS version and browser are you using?

Thanks! Could you indicate where exactly the N is that you are referring to?
