Yes, you're right. It seems the special chars are transparently "url encoded", 
so there is nothing to do on the JavaScript side. 

Still, I thinks its good to know that in the background an IRI is generated. 
This means that the byte sequence of special characters are UTF-8 encoded. 
Therefore, it should not be necessary to include a UTF-8 flag in the request 
header. Put simply, its always UTF-8 and the backend knows which charset to 
refer to for decoding.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
