Incorrectly displayed characters

    Hello!
    Thank you very much for the useful plugin.

    During use, I noticed a problem:
    quotation marks and dashes in event topic names are not displayed properly in the modal window and event list.
    Instead of a dash, &# 8212; is displayed, and instead of opening and closing quotes, &# 171; and &# 187;are displayed.
    You can use quotation marks instead of « » – this saves the situation.
    There’s no substitute for the dash. 🙁
    I have to use the word “this” instead of the dash.

    Hi,

    Thank you very much for reporting this issue, I’ve looked into it:

    I think the issue seems to come from how the characters are stored rather than how they are displayed.

    The plugin expects standard UTF-8 characters (like — or « »). If the title already contains HTML entities, the browser will display them literally, which matches what you’re seeing.

    I’ve tested this on my side using titles with dashes (—) and quotation marks (« » “ ”), and everything is displayed correctly both in the event list and in the modal.

    This can sometimes happen when copying content from external sources (Word, Google Docs, websites).

    Could you try the following?

    1. Edit one of the affected events.
    2. In the title field, replace the problematic part manually, for example:
      • Replace — with —
      • Replace « / » with « »
    3. Save and check again.

    If it displays correctly after that, it confirms the issue is related to how the content was originally encoded.

    Thanks again for reporting this!
