Summary

Currently, some diacritic characters, such as ă are not preserved when saved using the catalogAPI: https://developers.vtex.com/vtex-rest-api/reference/catalog-api-put-product

Simulation

1 - use a put product API https://developers.vtex.com/vtex-rest-api/reference/catalog-api-put-product with a diacritic Ex:

${"base64":" ","img":{"width":184,"height":22,"type":"png","mime":"image/png","wUnits":"px","hUnits":"px","length":1554,"url":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vtexdocs/known-issues/refs/heads/main/docs/en/known-issues/Catalog/diacritics-are-removed-on-catalogapi_1.png"}}$

2 - Then either check this data via API or catalog admin, you'll have these characters removed: https://developers.vtex.com/vtex-rest-api/reference/catalog-api-get-product

${"base64":" ","img":{"width":190,"height":23,"type":"png","mime":"image/png","wUnits":"px","hUnits":"px","length":1511,"url":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vtexdocs/known-issues/refs/heads/main/docs/en/known-issues/Catalog/diacritics-are-removed-on-catalogapi_2.png"}}$

Workaround

Manually update these products via admin UI
