Hi,
Truncator, Slug Converter doesn't work with Greek characters, It would be nice to add utf-8 support.

Thanks in advance

There are certain things that are needed to look through for this issue (if you are still facing).

First of all sorry for the late reply. Secondly, if you are still facing this problem, this is due to your
php server/database (if you are grabbing the data from your database)/Web Browser/Code Editor or IDE.

Slug eliminates the special characters so that the url is search engine friendly. Keeping the special characters in your url is not at all a good practice.

Optionally, you can try this to solve your problem:

<?php
     header('Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8');
 ?>

it will send a header request to the browser to support the UTF-8 Encoding.
