Hey y’all:
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am noticing some funny characters (e.g.
"Wintergrün”) for species available here:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.gbif.org/species/2882753/vernaculars"
class="">http://www.gbif.org/species/2882753/vernaculars</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Same is observed using the api:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/2882753/vernacularNames"
class="">http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/2882753/vernacularNames</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am assuming that the actual common name should be
something like “Wintergrün”.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">While I was looking into this, I also noticed that
no characterset is specified in http response headers.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please confirm that this is expected behavior. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">thx,</div>
