### Region

_No response_

### Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

I had been trying on and off to fix my filters which stopped working a while back, but I think this is getting caused by either the layout update from a while back or a more recent change in yt-dlp that was meant to address it
In the example provided I am using the escaped UTF-16 sequence that matches -j, but it's the same result if replaced with plain 東京03 that matches --write-description
Filtering by title seems to work fine, it's the description specifically I'm having trouble with

### Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

- [X] Run **your** yt-dlp command with **-vU** flag added (`yt-dlp -vU <your command line>`)
- [ ] If using API, add `'verbose': True` to `YoutubeDL` params instead
- [X] Copy the WHOLE output (starting with `[debug] Command-line config`) and insert it below
