**Affects:** 6.1.8 When Spring MVC serializes JSON and no charater encoding is specified, UTF-8 is used by default (see [this](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/blob/main/spring-web/src/main/java/org/springframework/http/converter/json/AbstractJackson2HttpMessageConverter.java#L436) or [this](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/blob/main/spring-web/src/main/java/org/springframework/http/converter/StringHttpMessageConverter.java#L156)). MockMvc on the other hand always defaults to ISO-8859-1 which results in inconsistencies reproduced [here](https://github.com/lukas-krecan/JsonUnit/issues/212). This is a follow-up of https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/32997
