Hi there.
When I use the REST API and created a group whose name contains accented letters (á, é, í, ó, ú).
The result I get is something like this MÃ © xico, instead of México.
To pass data group use a json. I do not know if I have you set the charset = “UTF8” and how?.
I use Bonita 6.2
if I can give an example.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Please find below a python example tested successfully in 6.2.6.

More details regarding json.dumps are available here https://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html
Hello, there might be some issues with encoding, yes. It is better to use standard characters for variables, groups, tasks, etc.
Can you tell the precise version of Bonita, OS, database and java ?
Bonita 6.2
OS: Windows 8
database: Oracle.
C#
If you try to create a group directly into the portal and it’s ok with accented letters (á, é, í, ó, ú) then you can take a look to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9145667/how-to-post-json-to-the-server
I don’t know C# but according to that post it seems that you can use something like :
byte postBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);
