Steps To Reproduce

  1. Turn on TalkBack
  2. Go to "Search"
  3. Focus on the "←" back button (A)
  4. Go to "My Vault > Bin"
  5. Focus on the "←" back button (B)

Expected Result

TalkBack should announce both of these as "Back, Button".

Actual Result

For Search (A), it appears that the button's name is "←", but it's a glyph/character that TalkBack doesn't recognise, so it doesn't announce it as anything other than "... , Button".

For the Bin (B), the button completely lacks an accessible name, and is announced as "Unlabelled, Button"

Screenshots or Videos

Photos (as can't take on-device screenshots, since Bitwarden suppresses this) of Bitwarden on Android, with TalkBack's speech output visible at the bottom:

Search back button, showing "[broken character icon], Button" TalkBack output
Bin back button, showing "Unlabelled, Button" TalkBack output
