 * Hello,
 * I really like your plugin as it works great but I got one little problem with
   special characters.
 * I import information with an API and let them print out on my website with Elementor.
 * Within the html code on my website special characters like e.g. “ä”, “ö” and “
   ü” are printed out like this because of the API import:
 *     ```
       & # x E 4 ;
       & # x F 6 ;
       & # x F C ;
       ```
   
 * (without spaces ofc but WordPress automatically replaces the characters as well.)
 * I tried to add something like:
 * `& # x E 4 ; => ä`
 * but it automatically replaces the code with an “ä”. Therefore it replaces:
 * `ä => ä`
 * what doesn’t work in my special case.
 * Is there anything I could do about this issue?
 * Thanks a lot for the nice plugin and keep up the great work! 🙂
