FORGE event returning badly formatted data

Forge
1

EventHandler from event avi:jira:commented:issue returns wrong formatting in comment content.

How to replicate:
Create comment with: #čáčč
Event will return: #čáčč
(instead of correct content. :rage:)

Details/Replication:
I create comment with diacritics…
correct

Method eventHandler for avi:jira:commented:issue …

export async function eventHandler(EVENT, context) {...}

This is what EVENT will return …

"comment":{
      ...
      "body":{
               ...
               "content":[
                  {
                     "type":"text",
                     "text":"#čáčč"
                  }
               ]
      ...
      }
}

This is big problem. Because decoding with decodeURI/component will not fix it and unescape is deprecated.

Thank you @tpettersen,
As we were investigating the bug futher, we found out that this is not happening just to comments,
but to Summary aswell.

"fields":{
      "summary":"český testíšek",
       ...
}

And also with every issue which was created in no more than 10 hours ago, from now.
It is also showing in jira’s notification menu.

It is maybe more complex problem which is not just in the Forge.
Thank you for any info.

This seems to be occurring with storage.set and storage.get as well - exact same behavior.
