Content Entry | Best way for content bulk upload of arabic / chinese language (mutli bytes) to CQ (curl etc)

[rohitspathak123]

I have excel sheet where i have got content in chinese / arabic which needs to be uploaded to CQ. In excel i can see they are displaying fine. I am thinking of using curl command automate the process. I have used curl in past for english language content and it works nice.

But now when i use curl for uploading these special languages everythjing gets uploaded as QUESTION MARK or JUNK.

is there any attribute / parameter i need to send in curl command

Below is my curl command

    

curl -u admin:admin  http://localhost:4502/etc/designs/footer   -F  "text=洲際酒店集"

It works well if text is english
curl -u admin:admin  http://localhost:4502/etc/designs/footer   -F  "text=how are u"

Is there any way I can pass character encoding (UTF-8) to this statement ?

See this article about writing a servlet for AEM that are able to handle specials chars:

As noted in the article - using CURL does not work.
