1. Deploy Knowledge Base plugin
2. Navigate to Admin > Content > Knowledge Base
3. Click Add > Import
4. Import attached zip file with markdown articles
5. Assert imported articles are imported successfully without errors, and everything displays correctly.
6. Add a page
7. Add Knowledge Base Display portlet to the page
8. Click Configuration > General > Select
9. Choose any article or folder

Expected results: Title of article or folder selected will persist after saving in Configuration iframe, and special characters will be parsed correctly.

Actual results: Weird characters appear and it seems like special characters are not parsed out correctly in the field. Please see attached screenshot for more details.
