Need 1 help -

I created an Outlook Send Email task where data comes from Power BI and in the body, I am inserting name, issue is when it encounters name like "José Miguel (Miguel)" it is converting it to "Jos\E9 Miguel (Miguel)" in the email. When I check the input of body in the completed run it shows original value, but in email shows converted one. Tried inserting HTML UTF-8 charset also but not working.

Found a workaround for this, instead of using the Body parameter of the Outlook task, I created a compose task in which I am creating HTML body for consumption and using output in the Body parameter of email tasks. Its working fine now.
