@RequestMapping handling of special characters

Question

I have a REST API

@RequestMapping(value = "/Save", method = RequestMethod.POST, 
            consumes = {"application/json;charset=ISO-8859-1" }, 
            produces = {"application/json;charset=ISO-8859-1" })    
public SaveResponse save(@RequestBody SaveRequest request) {
        //some codes
    }
}

My request contains the following lines

{
  :
  :
      "mailingAddress": {
      "addressLine1": "Carrera 36E N°",
      "addressLine2": "Medellín, Antioquia",
      "country": "COL"
    }
  :

And I received a 400 Bad Request

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate

And when I removed the characters "°" and "í" from the request, then the request can go through with no error. What is my problem?

Thank you.

If the API is yours, simply change the charset in "application/json;charset=ISO-8859-1" from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. — m4gic, Jun 18 '21 at 13:09
Is there a reason you’re using ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8? — Woodchuck, Jun 18 '21 at 13:11

You can try changing the character set from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8, as the former does not support as wide an array of character mappings (What is the difference between UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1?).
