Azure DevOps Rest API: Import work items in foreign language

Question

I have been working on exporting work items and importing it to another environment using Azure DevOps Rest API. Few of the work items are in russian language eg the work item title and description. The export work items work well and i could see the title and description in russian, but when importing the work item using rest api: [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/wit/work-items/create?view=azure-devops-rest-6.0] the title and description was not imported well. I am seeing something like ???? ?????????/????????? ?????? ?????????, ????????? for work item description. Is there any encoding to do before importing the work items?

Thanks
