Smart Playlist not synced correctly

I've set up a smart playlist on iTunes for Windows and have currently 91 songs. However, when on my iPhone, my smart playlist is completely empty.

I'm sorting by name and by adding more name filters it seem to pick up more songs. Nonetheless, my iPhone smart playlist won't behave like my iTunes smart playlist and I don't know why.

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Okay I've found what wasn't working. Basically, the character "É" is recognized by the name filters when writing "é" on iTunes but not on Apple Music. I had to add both uppercase and lowercase versions of that character for it to work
