 * I use aweseome surveys on different blogs. On one, it works fine, on the second
   there is a problem with special (native) characters (WP version and AS are the
   same on both).
 * When I add new question, and the question contains special character (ółżźć),
   the javascript (I suppose) changes it to óÅżźÄ. At the end (for respondent)
   it looks fine (ółżźć). And after there appears special character in question,
   all special characters used in labels for radio buttons and other inputs are 
   changed to Äż… When I want to edit this question to something that still contains
   special character, the question dissapears. When I remove special characters 
   from all questions, the other special characters from answers turns back to normal:
   ółżźć.
    So it’s clearly, that there is a problem with question encoding, not 
   answer labels.
 * I tried to reinstall plugin but problem remains.
 * WP:4.5.1, Chrome, Windows 7, AS:2.1
 * The suppose, the similar problem was described here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/characters](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/characters)
