Question by john.crocker · Oct 28, 2016 at 05:58 AM · world-checkworld-check-oneunicode

ISO Country List

Hello,

I am just trying to get round some issues with the character set of the ISO Country List API Call at /reference/countries. I have just noticed that it returns some odd characters in Postman around country codes as seen below:

CUW - Cura��ao

CIV - C��te d'Ivoire

Amongst others. the Character is a Diamond box with a question mark, I can only assume that this is a character set encoding issue which shouldn't happen if the response/request is being made via Unicode?

Can anyone shed any light on how to get round this issue?

Hi @john.crocker,

The two characters are ç and ô that character encoding display issues.

Curaçao and Côte d'lvoire (along with other international chars) can be typed using a couple methods. Because I often need to type international characters I setup my Windows PC to toggle between US and United States-International. (easy to do)

Using US-International keyboard mode - French C cedilla ç is simply typed by holding down the (Right Alt Key) then press <

Almost all the other accents are simply the accent key followed by the character

So in US-I more type: ^ followed by o to produce ô

ñ is ~ followed by n

I checked both Postman chrome & Postman native version and does not seem to support these accent chars. Postman Native version returns 501: Not Implemented. Perhaps its an environment issue in Postman. These chars should work properly in WC-1 application and API.

Hope this helps,

Brian

Additionally, the same also happens for Screened Profiles as well where these characters (specifically these countries for example) exist.

In the case of "CUW" it looks like it should render as "

Curaçao

Hi @john.crocker,

I'll submit a ticket to ensure the issue is checked in both the API and WC1 application.

Thanks Brian, I did actually login to Accelus to check there what it was rendering, and it does actually render in exactly the same way there.
