PHP 404 Not Found header is shown as 404 () in Google Chrome

Question

I have a website. It has a error page with the name 404.php. I set the headers in the 404.php using:

header("HTTP/2 404 Not Found");

When I open console in Google Chrome in the error page now it says:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

Before, it displayed the normal:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

The word "Not Found" is not displaying in the console tab. So because of this users would think that it is a fake 404 response even if it is real.

Please help me with this.

It works, but it doesn't display "Not Found" in the console and in the network http headers.

I am not seeing anything within the console itself relating to a 404 status code.
Console Output However, the general header record, as well as the response header record are both displaying a status code of 404.
HTTP Headers I would not worry about people seeing this as a 'false 404', as per the HTTP status code standards 404 signifies that the page is not found.

You have convinced me :) – May 11 '19 at 12:14
I now learnt that this happens only on HTTP/2, but not HTTP/1.1. And also, I am the person who posted this, but deleted my account before and recreated it, so I can't access it. I would request the moderators to delete this, or maybe somehow give me access to this question by making it so I own it. I have proof, because the website domain is mentioned here. And I still own it. – Example person Feb 01 '20 at 18:34
