The problem

In my app after tapping on a specific area certain values are hidden (*****).In my test case I have to check whether after tapping the values are getting hidden or not. I am trying to assert the asterisk strings but the assertion is failing. I tried string normalisation, trim , toString but still facing the same issue. I also tried to do convert latter string to superscript but I am not sure how can I achieve that in Java How can I get through this?

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue:Appium 1.18.1
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium:Catalina
• Mobile platform/version under test:Android
• Real device or emulator/simulator:Real device
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe:Appium CLI
