Postman utf-8 encoding issue when charset=utf-8 is not provided by server

Question

Spring deprecated APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8 (application/json;charset=UTF-8) annotation as they said:

     /**
     * A String equivalent of {@link MediaType#APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8}.
     * @deprecated as of 5.2 in favor of {@link #APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE}
     * since major browsers like Chrome
     * <a href="https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=438464">
     * now comply with the specification</a> and interpret correctly UTF-8 special
     * characters without requiring a {@code charset=UTF-8} parameter.
     */
    @Deprecated
    public static final String APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8_VALUE = "application/json;charset=UTF-8";

When I sent a request to API from Chrome or command line, encoding works correctly. But, Postman is not showing correct response unless I use application/json;charset=UTF-8 for producing.

Is there any way to fix that issue on Postman?

It seems like Postman would need to support the spec by defaulting to Unicode, as described in the Chrome issue discussion. — Mike Partridge
