 * this solutions work for me:
 * enable special characters in field value:
    `<div style="visibility: hidden">[
   abase sql="SET @@session.character_set_results=utf8"]</div>`
 * enable special characters in column names:
    `<div style="visibility: hidden">[
   abase sql="SET @@session.character_set_client=utf8"]</div>`

 * Update:
    This still works fine: `[abase columns="Straße" ...]`
 * but this newly doesn’t:
    `[abase sql="SELECT Straße ...]`

 * Another buggy thing beside the “?” in the sql results is that I get an error 
   when there is a special character in the column name:
 *     ```
       #1. [abase sql="SELECT Straße FROM [...]"]
       Fatal Error (1431)
       Unknown column 'Straße' in 'field list'
       You are using the sql="" attribute so make sure it contains a valid SQL statement. Check to make sure the spelling of all table or column names within the SQL statement are exactly correct.
       ```

 * Same here for german special characters like ä, ö, ü, ß, …
    Everything was fine
   some days ago.
