I have a sample that is labeled as "BB C" (as seen in the attached file).. I tried to test it with Tesseract OCR but instead of "BB C" as an output, I get "B C".. The "B" that was recognized was the first "B".. Why cant the Tesseract OCR recognize the second "B" ?

I also tried another sample labeled as "Route 66". But I also ended up getting an output of "Route 6" instead of "Route 66". Again, the first "6" was the one recognized. Why?
