*Details* +
The `Content-Type` response header no longer specifies the charset. This information is not required when transferring JSON data, as UTF is the default encoding.

*Impact* +
Some applications and utilities, such as PowerShell's https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/invoke-restmethod[Invoke-RestMethod], must receive charset information to display data correctly. If your application or utility relies on charset information in the `Content-Type` response header, UTF-8 encoded characters will be rendered incorrectly in the response body.

As a workaround, to render non-ASCII characters, include an HTTP `Accept` header in your requests, specifying the charset:

[source,sh]
----
Accept: application/json; charset=utf-8
----
// NOTCONSOLE
