fix Special Characters in Room Names Disappear When "Allow Special in Room Names" Disabled in Settings

[Ansh-dS]

Description:

If "Allow Special in Room Names" is enabled, and you have created a channel or room containing special characters or spaces, then it will display the room name with special characters. However, if we turn off ("Allow Characters in Room Names") at this point, then we lose the special characters in every name. But if you click on these types of channels rooms in the message bar, you see the correct name, and in the info icon, you also see the correct name. Since it is about "Allow Special Characters in Room Names," it should not remove the special characters and spaces

Steps to reproduce:

1. Must have a room/channel name with special character or spaces.
2. click on three dots in top left bar.
3. choose workspace then scroll down and choose settings
4. search for layout
5. click on "user interface "
6. find "Allow Special Characters in Room Names" and turn off.

Actual behavior:

What do you think should be the expected behavior in this case ?
Do you expect the special characters to disappear from the room name in the message bar and info too ?

@hiteshm0 there can be multiple cases but depends on the team why switching off the settings leads to behave rocket.chat in such a way it can be a intentional thing from the team or can be a bug but whatever it is only team can tell.
