How to pass accents characters to REST APIs in post methods

Question

I need to pass my request body to a post method of Web API and in request body have some special characters like ã

Below is the request body :

{
  "query": "den",
  "city": "São Paulo",
  "country": "Brazil",
  "location": null
}

Error : "Unable to translate bytes [E3] at index 32 from specified code page to Unicode."

Anybody has any solution I tried application/json;charset=utf-16 and application/json;charset=utf-8

Also while debugging the code parameter value is coming null.

Thanks

I had the same challenge and I resolved it by adding

(consumes= MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE,produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)

with your postMapping.
