Description

Thanks for this project ⭐

Having this generated feed, the encoding on the title is incorrect.

Now it renders Vánoce, Vánoce pÅ™icházejí, sejdÄ›me se přátelé where it should be Vánoce, Vánoce přicházejí, sejděme se přátelé .

here is the whole rss payload

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
