Ensure API definition does not contain non-UTF-8 characters

We are looking for a way to validate that our API definition only contains UTF-8 characters.  Certain special characters break functionality when deploying to our API platform.  Is there any way that this can be validated in SwaggerHub while creating the API?

    Hi,

     

    There is nothing in the SwaggerHub editor which will detect non UTF-8 characters and flag them as invalid.  It may be better for you to copy your spec and put it in a UTF-8 check tool to flag any characters that are not UTF-8 encoded.  See the one below which may help.
