            Bug ID: 197369

           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari Technology Preview
          Hardware: iPhone / iPad
                OS: iOS 12
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

Hey,

I am one of the committer of Spring Framework working on our web support (Spring MVC) and we would like to stop specifying artificially UTF-8 charset for JSON (with "application/json;charset=utf-8", see https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/22788 for more details) since per spec "application/json" does not support charset parameter (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#section-11) and UTF-8 should be used by default (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259#section-8.1). This very annoying bug has been fixed in September 2017 in Chrome (see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=438464) and Firefox renders as well correctly special characters with "application/json" so Safari is the last big player to not handling that correctly.


To reproduce the bug, as described in the Chrome issue please compare rendering of http://thax.hardliners.org/issue438464.php?json=1 with Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Firefox and Safari render correctly the special characters while Safari does not.

Thanks in advance for your help on this issue.
