Mikrotik encoding utf8

1

My Mikrotik RouterOS integration fails to setup. I am using non-ascii (unicode characters) in my comments and DHCP device names.

I see a fix in GitHub, but it doesn’t work for my (current HA build, routerOS 6.49)

The error log:

You can try this, it didn’t work for me, but it did work for the poster:
