plot export to svg 'x' sign changed to '#'

I've got some plot with small numbers on axis, so Matlab changed its display to 'X x10^(-Y)', it looks like this:

But when I'm exporting it to svg format it changes 'x' sign to '#' sign:

Is it possible to avoid this?

Hi Blazej Poplawski,

I faced this issue as well till MATLAB R2019b, but I see that the export to SVG is fixed in MATLAB R2020a. I tried to execute the below code in MATLAB R2020a and the exported SVG of the plot seemed fine.

plot(1:3,0:1e4:2e4); 
print(gcf,'test','-dsvg'); 

I have attached the zip of the SVG file for reference.
