Fix golem deployment issue with special characters

golem deployment with shinyi18.n translation does not publish special characters to server (i.e., .json file does the translation but leaves out accented characters). Posted as issue on shiny.i18n issues page, though this might be a golem issue. Need special characters to render properly both from run_app() and from the server.

This was fixed by changing the UTF-8 encoded special characters in the HTML to html characters (I used this site) and re-saving the server.R and ui.R files again with UTF-8 encoding from RStudio. There's no reason to believe that they weren't already saved that way, because it is the system default, but I just wanted to confirm. Fixed now.
