• bzimport set Reference to bz58118.

sorry there are two more steps to the repro adding it here.

4.Select any special character

The special character does get added on the first line of the page
but the image gets deleted.

The behavior is different when the same action is done with Latex or Hieroglyphics which has been described in a separate issue:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58045

This is intentional. Closing as INVALID.
