Make sure that you understand `@RequestParam` vs `@PathVariable` https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13715811/requestparam-vs-pathvariable — Quang Nguyen, Jun 17 '20 at 19:18

A URL is composed from a limited set of characters belonging to the US-ASCII character set. These characters include digits (0-9), letters(A-Z, a-z), and a few special characters.

á does not come under US-ASCII. You should try URL encoding before firing such GET request.
