Correct term not recognized by QA check - character sets are different.

it happened once that even though translated text existed in the terminology database it has not been recognized by QA check.

so we're actually seeing the letters "O" and "C" but they are part of the Cyrillic alphabet, whereas in the translation, we find these results :

which are the classic "O" and "C" characters of Latin alphabet. It therefore explains the fact that matches are considered different and that the QA module identifies this as a misspelled word. While they're visually similar, they're not the same characters.
