Hi,

I don't have anything to test against, but have you set the encoding in the TestStep properties:

Does this do any good? Thought UTF-8 might allow the characters...

Rupert,

 

I'm trying to find that menu you linked. The closest thing I could find is this:

Test>Show Test Case Editor> Properties

 

 

However I'm pretty confident that isn't where you are. Could you explain how to navigate to that menu?

 

Regards,

 

Jesse

      Rupert,

       

      Unfortunately that did not solve the issue for me. However, I do want to thank you for reaching out to me today, on this issue and the cookie issue from earlier today. I hope you have a great weekend!

       

      Regards,

        Hi Jesse,

         

        No problem, shame it didn't work, was just a quick guess - will have a think, must be something to do with the character set that SoapUI is using, maybe taken from the machine that SoapUI is running on e.g. Windows/Linux environment.

         

        Have a great weekend too!

         

        Kind regards,

        Rup
