Getting "Swiss Standard German, ss" character with UTF-8 collation

Question

After searching in the archives I found a few resources that recommended replacing the character encoding (#1273 - Unknown collation: 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci' Cpanel).

This is what my collation was (CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci;) and this is what I converted it to (CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci). I also changed the collation in phpMyAdmin to utf8_unicode_ci. HTML meta charset is UTF-8. The problem persists. Issue can be viewed here by looking for words that have 'ss' in them: http://photonew.rasdesignmedia.com/about-roger-aguirre-smith/

Further testing shows that the problem does not exist with iOS. It persists in Chrome, Safari, Opera and Firefox.

The problem resided in my CSS and had nothing to do with collation at any level. Here is a link to more detail of what I found regarding CSS font-feature-settings: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/281076/126173
