Describe the bug you're encountering
If the API returns contet that isn't encoded with UTF-8 the display of the response body is not correct (see screenshot). The server returns a ISO-8859-1 encoded string and the german special chars (äüöß) are not displayed correct.
Expected behavior
The response body should be encoded with ISO-8859-1.
Screenshots

Should be "Tübinger Str. 1"

Research direction
No source file or test is named in the issue. Start by reproducing the response-rendering problem with the supplied OpenAPI definition and Swagger UI configuration, using an ISO-8859-1 response containing “Tübinger Str. 1”; done means the German characters display correctly rather than as corrupted text.
