 * Hello! I’m using your plugin for a long time, but after last update, i have problems
   with encoding ( I’m using cyrillic text, as the value, but in admin page it looks
   like “??????? ??? ??? ??????”

 * I have the same problem, cyrillic symbols do not display properly on admin page
   even though do echo correctly when using `get_custom()`.

 * For now I just replaced in the plugin code line 222:
 * `<td><?php echo htmlentities(utf8_decode($option->value)); ?></td>`
 * with
 * `<td><?php echo $option->value; ?></td>`
 * I think the values stored in the DB are already UTF-8, so it’s not needed much.

 * Hi, what kind of string are you using? HTML? Text only? Could you please send
   me a example for me to put in my tests?

 * It’s a simple piece of HTML like this:
