1. Open Preferences > Editor.

2. In the Editor font and Text Field font options, specify fonts that support the needed Unicode characters.

Unicode symbols in the names of the following test items may cause issues:

• Projects
• Test suites
• Test cases
• Security tests
• Load tests
• Virtual services

We recommend that you avoid using Unicode characters in their names.

When you send requests containing Unicode characters set the encoding property to UTF-8. To do this:

1. Open a request.

2. Set the Encoding property to UTF-8.

It is also possible to make ReadyAPI set the Unicode encoding for all the requests. To do this, set the -Dsoapui.request.encoding=UTF-8 system property. The way you do this depends on how you run ReadyAPI. See Modifying JVM Settings.

In some cases, the Normalize line-break option may cause issues with Unicode characters in your project. To turn off the option:

1. Open Preferences > UI.

2. Deselect the Normalize line-break option.
