Question mark symbols (encoding) was created by podmentor
Hello! Thanks for the module. It's great, but I get question marks <?> after the number of lettes in letter count of intro text. The site is in Russian. See attachment. Help me resolve the issue please.

Hello,
I am not sure where this is coming from, since the module cuts off the word and just adds dots (...). Can you check if there is a difference with another font? I had this problem with Greek and now Russian, which are non-latin languages. Maybe a problem of encoding? I will investigate...

Do you have a live website I can check out? That would help. Thank you.

As suspected, it is an encoding issue.
So you can fix your problem before an update of the module, here is the fix you can try out.
Find in the file helper.php the line:
$temp = substr($temp, 0, $letter_count);
Replace it with
$temp = mb_substr($temp, 0, $letter_count);
Let me know if this works for you!

Thanks a bunch, mate! It does help! =) I wanted to use metadata option for each article to "emulate" letter count to avoid this question marks. But it is easier to modify helper.php. Thanks, works perfectly!
