Social Share Button plugin v2.1.14 – Icons/links rendering as HTML after upgrade

After upgrading the Social Share Button plugin to v2.1.14, the social share buttons/links are broken and the icons appear as HTML tags instead of rendering properly.

During troubleshooting, I found the issue appears to originate from:

/social-share-button/templates/buttons.php

Specifically these lines:

esc_html($site_info['icon'])
esc_html($site_info['title'])

It seems that escaping these values is causing the icon HTML to render as plain text. If esc_html() is removed, the buttons display correctly and work as expected.

Could you please review this behavior and confirm whether this change was intentional or if a fix/alternative approach is recommended?

Thank you for your assistance.
