Invalid UTF-8 string (problem with umlauts in callerid)

Hello,
we are currently experience some problems with our asterisk installation. Every time there are umlauts (we are located in a german speaking country) in the CallerID we receive the following error messages:

ERROR[19407][C-0000006c] json.c: Error building JSON from '{s: s, s: s}': Invalid UTF-8 string.
ERROR[19407][C-0000006c] : Got 12 backtrace records

os -> centos 7
asterisk version -> 16.5.0
jansson.x86_64 -> 2.10-1.el7
jansson-devel.x86_64 -> 2.10-1.el7

I am not quite sure why this problem occurs. We used an older asterisk version before and never had any problems with umlauts on that installation.

Thank you for your help!

EDIT: added formatting

I had the same problem. Asterisk does not like accent characters.
