[BUG] Publisher adding characters when API specification contains ° or ³

[jonathdb93]

Release version

APIOps Toolkit for Azure APIM v5.1.4

Describe the bug

When publishing an API specification that contains ° or ³, the final result of our schema definitions contains °C instead of °C and ³ instead of ³.

Our specification.yaml file contains the following lines:

components:
  schemas:
    Conditions:
      type: object
      properties:
        temperature:
          type: number
          description: Temperature (°C)
        gasContent:
          type: number
          description: Content of gas (mg/Nm³)
      description: Conditions

which results in a definition in APIM with schema:

{
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "temperature": {
            "type": "number",
            "description": "Temperature (°C)"
        },
        "gasContent": {
            "type": "number",
            "description": "Content of gas (mg/Nm³)"
        }
    },
    "description": "Conditions"
}

Expected behavior

When providing a specification that contains ° or ³, the schema published in API Management contains ° and ³ without any additional characters.

Actual behavior

When providing a specification that contains ° or ³, the schema published in API Management contains ° and ³.

Reproduction Steps

Publish an API specification with a schema that contains a special character such as ° or 3.

@jonathdb93 - if you import your specification file manually into APIM through the Azure portal, does it work as expected?

@guythetechie I've manually imported the extracted file back into APIM and did not get any special characters in my API definition. This indeed works as expected.
