Character Encoding in POST JSON Request

I am sending a POST JSON Request to my application.

POST /CharSetTest/Test HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8090
Content-Type: application/json
Cache-Control: no-cache
Postman-Token: 1637b92b-5896-4765-63c5-d04ad73ea9f1

{
  "SampleRequest": {
    "FullName": "関連当"
  }
}

My CXF JAXRS Consumer is defined as below.

@POST
@Produces("application/json; charset=UTF-8")
@Consumes("application/json; charset=UTF-8")
public Response testCharSet(@Encoded String jsonBody);

But the Japanese Character (関連当) that I sent as POST request is not encoded and results in some junk characters "é¢é£å½äºè"

Using SoapUI results in "?????" characters.

This Junk characters differs from client to client from where I hit the request. How Could I encode my POST Request ?

A hack is to make use of the Pre-request Script in Postman.

Paste the following in the Pre-request Script section. This will transform all our params in the Request Url to be encoded. Thus all the + sign would be encoded to %2B

var querycount = pm.request.url.query.count();
for(let i = 0; i < querycount; i++) {
  pm.request.url.query.idx(i).value = encodeURIComponent(pm.request.url.query.idx(i).value);
}

I think you need to use json_encode() options like this line

json_encode($data,JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);

Postman returns the message in your language format.

I had a similar problem and solved it bu setting HttpServletResponse instance's character encoding to utf-8 : 

response.setCharacterEncoding("utf-8");

Try this 

@RequestMapping(value = "/play", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces={"application/json; charset=UTF-8"})

Set produces={"application/json; charset=UTF-8"} as above, to your @RequestMapping

None of the answers here worked for me.

My content-type was already set to "application/json;charset=UTF-8", but the accept-encoding setting in my header was causing the error:

Disable the accept-encoding setting under Headers:

enter image description here

When I deactivated the last line above, everything worked great! Hope that helps someone.

Set the content-type to:

"application/json;charset=UTF-8"

when sending the post request in the application you are using. You can find "content-type" in the Header of the URL in that application.
