Hi all, this is the description value extracted but it has this funny red word, not sure what it is but I cannot send a request because it gives an error: seems like the API is rejecting it…
How can I escape this with UiPath,this description has a variable, I am developing with UiPath studio?
Hi @Anelisa_Bolosha1 ,
How did you passed the value & from where you are extracting the value. can you share the screenshot.
its seems like syntax error or while you are extracting unexpected char was present
Regards,

What you’re seeing is most likely not a UiPath issue but a hidden/invalid Unicode character in the extracted text (often a non-breaking space, zero-width character, or control symbol). These characters render as small red blocks in editors and can cause APIs to reject the payload even though the text looks normal.
A reliable fix is to sanitize the string before sending it. In UiPath Studio, you can remove problematic characters using a Replace or Regex step, for example removing control characters:
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(description, "[\p{C}]", "")
If needed, also normalize encoding (UTF-8) before the API call.
Once the hidden characters are stripped, the request should go through normally.
@Ghaith_abdesselem thank you, how would I encode UTF-8 char in UiPath?
Can you give a try with below expression in assign activity
strDescription = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.ToString(yourvalue)
Hi @yedukondaluaregala ,thank you for this?
Will this be to encode?
This solved it, I appreciate it
