SkyBlock API character encoding problem: question marks in the data

[Flachdachs]

In APIs like https://api.hypixel.net/resources/skyblock/skills there are text data, e.g. in the "unlocks" fields of the levels. But some characters are lost, because they are converted server side to question marks (U+003F). So this API data is less useful.

Example, Level 2 of Farming skill:

Farmhand II 4?8% chance to get double crops.
+2 HP ? Health

The first question mark is in the game an arrow, the second stand for a heart.

https://api.hypixel.net/resources/skyblock/collections has the same problem e.g. in both tier 5 and 8 of sugar collection

Speed Talisman ? Speed Ring Upgrade
...
Speed Ring ? Speed Artifact Upgrade

As a consumer of these data there is no (easy) way to know which character is actually represented by these question marks.

Someone fixed it silently, mentioned characters are now correctly encoded.
