I just pushed an update (1.1.0) that should hopefully address this issue. Please let me know once you get the update if the problem is fixed or not.

It turns out the issue is that JavaScript doesn't handle UTF-8 characters inside RegExp (the mechanism the filter uses to identify which words to target) very well. I have introduced a workaround and in my testing have had success. Thanks for pointing out this issue, and hopefully it shouldn't be a problem anymore.

I'm going to go ahead and close this, because I think it was resolved. If not, feel free to re-open the issue.
