Very Useful Fix

Installed this cz some characters were breaking on my site. After activating, everything started working fine. No setup needed, just works in background. tnx devs for keeping it simple 👍

Simple but Useful

Added it to handle multibyte characters, and it works smoothly. Didn’t need to configure much. Just installed and forgot about it. Everything has been running fine since then. tnx devs for keeping it
