However when defining a schema that uses non ASCII characters, i get a lot of validation errors - even if non ASCII characters are properly URI encoded (pct encoded) Is this a shortcoming in the tooling, or am i reading the standards wrong? Kind regards Morten SolvedRe: Swagger Tools does not allow Schemas with non ASCII characters even if URI-encoded Hi Ron The tools in question are Swagger-Editor, Swagger-Hub, and i guess that swagger UI is a part of both The behaviour can be reproduced using the following API specification: openapi: "3.0.0" info: version: 1.0.3 title: Somespec paths: /somepath: get: responses: '200': description: Somedescription content: application/json: schema: type: array items: $ref: "#/components/schemas/%C3%85rsopg%C3%B8erelse" components: schemas: %C3%85rsopg%C3%B8erelse: properties: someproperty: type: string
