Hi,

My company is using the Zoom API with his Java application and a customer noticed when connecting to a meeting that her name which contains an emphasis is not well displayed ( C\<?\>line instead of Céline ).

What I understood is that the API support only ASCII characters ([UTF in meeting registrant name](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/utf-in-meeting-registrant-name/34513)).

How could we ensure the right display if by our side UTF-8 encoding is used ?

Thank you by advance for your help.

Best regards,

Nirina Andria
