ML Kit Text Recognition Fails to Read Single Character Letter "B"?

[ChefMachine]

Using ML Kit Vision Quickstart demo code downloaded from GitHub for text recognition of still images. Photos are sample game menus. Text Recognition Latin module fails to recognize the single capital letter "B" as either block, line or element. Screen shots below show recognized text overlaid in black on white.

To Reproduce

1. Run Vision Quickstart app (either Java or Kotlin version)
2. Select StillImageActivity button from menu
3. Select still image from album
4. Select Text Recognition Latin from Object Detection spinner
5. Code displays recognized (or not) text lines on original still image using black on white overlays

** Sample emulator screen shots from Quickstart app

Does not recognize line with letter "B"

Correctly identifies all four single character lines A, E, C, D

Does not recognize line with single char "B "

Expected behavior Text Recognition Latin feature should recognize all large block Latin letters from sample game menus. Works OK for several menus, but fails to read standalone capital letter "B" as either block, line or element. Confirmed by inspection of LOGCAT file.

I also had this issue, but with the letters 'Q' and 'O'. These letters are ignored for some reason. I'm guessing the the ML kit is trained for words, not individual letters.
