Groovy script with special characters

Adolfo Casari

String currentUser = ((WorkflowContext) transientVars.get("context")).getCaller();
commmgr = (CommentManager) ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(CommentManager.class)
commmgr.create(issue, currentUser, "comment contain special charactes", true)
issue.store()

I have the above to create a comment in an issue after a transition.

The comment s text contain special characters like ñ or ó, but then in Jira they are displayed wrong. But if I typed them in jira they look OK.

What is the correct way to pass special characters in this case?

Thanks in advance,

John Bishop

You may need to try representing the characters in a different way. Take a look at these for some examples:
