 * Applicants data is stored to the wp database (mysql) but html entities (ö
   instead of ö/ ß instead of ß) aren’t decoded. Is it because of safety? 
   MySQL tables are already rendered as utf-8, therefore jobs for wordpress must
   store data not decoded and in the browser under “applications” tab it’s also 
   correctly rendered. Is it unsafe to decode html, and if yes, is there a safe 
   way to implement that in the php plugin files?
 * Thank you for support
