Carlos Alberto Rocha Cardoso commented on ATLAS-3953:
-----------------------------------------------------
Hi,
The patch worked properly and exported the special chars without the "?" char.
But after, I tried to import the ZIP on another instance, with no patch. The
Import API replaced the special chars for "?".
I attached the atlas_export.zip and a UI print with the imported Entity
(Asset_Imported.PNG).

> The Export API returns a ZIP file with some JSON files describing Atlas
> Entities and TypeDefs.
> I am having an issue where some special chars in JSON are being replaced by
> "?" chars.
> An Entity name like "Distribuição" was exported in JSON file like
> "Distribui??o". The special chars "çã" was replaced for the "??" chars.
> I tried to change the exported JSON file encoding and the request header for
> Export API but without success.

> class*, I thought if maybe the problem is because the *s.getBytes()* is
> returning the JSON string to be written to ZIP with another encoding than

> It's my first contact with the Atlas source code, and I'm not a JAVA

> I saw that it's possible to set the default to encode to the platform or JVM,
> but how they said in this below discussion, perhaps this doesn't work
> properly in all situations.
