Encoding issue api/ipam/prefixes/

[Xemanth]

Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

4.2.5

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

$response=Invoke-RestMethod-Uri"$($url)/api/ipam/prefixes/?limit=0" -Headers $Global:ApiHeaders -Method Get
In the $response.results, scope.display.
Since moving to Netbox 4.2.x series character encoding is somehow broken.
For example upper case Ä and Ö doesn't get encoded correctly.
For example: �?rebro, Marieberg

Does somebody else experience this?

It's like characters are not encoded in utf8.

Expected Behavior

Örebro, Marieberg

Observed Behavior

�?rebro, Marieberg

I'm not able to reproduce this. Here is the result of a GET to http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/ipam/prefixes/ after setting those characters in the description via the UI:

            "role": null,
            "is_pool": false,
            "mark_utilized": false,
            "description": "Ä and Ö doesn't get encoded correctly.",
            "comments": "",
            "tags": [],
            "custom_fields": {},
            "created": "2025-02-25T09:30:27.673500-05:00",
            "last_updated": "2025-03-18T15:04:49.411501-04:00",
            "children": 0,
            "_depth": 0
        },

Can you provide reproducible steps to get your results? How are you setting the problematic text and on what field?

Hi,

First assign the prefix to the site. The problem arrises in that "site" data. In the current major version, that data has moved to scope property check how it is retrieved there.

I can't access that environment anymore as I left the company yesterday so I can't test it more 😅
