updateMultiInput doesn't support UTF-8 characters

[ehtmal]

When CREATE multiInput() it work fine with unicode characters. But when you UPDATE using updateMultiInput() it won't support unicode characters.

Create:
multiInput("testMultiInput", label = "Select Items", choices = c("小田", "若土"))
Evidence:
Multi Input show all Japanese characters

Update:
updateMultiInput(session, "testMultiInput", choices = c("123小田abc", "123若土def"))
Evidence:
Multi Input remove all Japanese characters

As I have checked, other input have same issue.

Hello,
I made a small change to preserve encoding, should work, can you try after installing dev version ?

devtools::install_github("dreamRs/shinyWidgets")
