Entering UTF-8 characters in request

Hello,

Using soapUI Pro 4.0.1 I need to send UTF-8 characters in a request. The encoding for the request is set to "UTF-8". However I don't know how to insert these characters as soapUI cannot display them. A Unicode font is installed on the system.

Example:
The character "DŽ" needs to be sent. Providing a Unicode font is installed I can type it in Microsot Word using Alt+(0)452 on the numpad. When pasting this to the request, I only get a square box.

How I can use such characters in soapUI?

Sincerely,
Robert

    Hi Robert,

    try changing to the native look & feel in the global SoapUI Preferences UI Settings tab - this should allow you to enter these characters as desired.

    regards!

    Hi Ole,

    I found out that there are a handful of characters which are only displayed correctly when using the font Lucida (Sans) Unicode. When checking the HTTP log however the characters are transmitted with their correct Unicode code though not visible in DataSource test step.

    Regards,
    Robert
