Character names consisting of question marks ("???") not displaying properly in cast lists on IMDb title pages

I have noticed that when a character name consists entirely of question marks (i.e. "???"), the character name is not being displayed in the cast list on IMDb title pages, even though the character name is being displayed correctly in the actor/actress' filmography page.

Examples:

1) In the film "You Are Your Body/You Are Not Your Body" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3173518/), Deborah Jensen was credited onscreen as "???"



When viewing the cast list on the page for the film itself, no character is listed (even though I personally submitted the character name in the past).



However, when viewing Deborah Jensen's filmography (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3460971/), the character name is displayed



2) In several episodes of the new season of Twin Peaks, Carel Struycken was credited as "???????"

 

Same problem: on the IMDb pages for the episodes themselves, no character name is displayed



But on his filmography page (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0835393/), the character name is displayed



This problem needs to be fixed so that the on-screen character names are displayed in the cast lists on the IMDb title pages for the productions themselves, not just on the actors' filmographies.
