Unable to create new user using Azure Active Directory B2C Graph API with chinese character Json data

Question

I am trying to create a user using AAD B2C graph API. It is working fine when the Payload Json is English Character, but If I create the Json Payload with a Chinese character, Its fails.

Json Payload:

    {
  "passwordProfile": {
    "password": "Abc1234@#",
    "forceChangePasswordNextLogin": false
  },
  "signInNames": [
    {
      "type": "emailAddress",
      "value": "[email protected]"
    }
  ],
  "accountEnabled": true,
  "creationType": "LocalAccount",
  "displayName": "林",
  "mailNickname": "林",
  "passwordPolicies": "DisablePasswordExpiration"
}

Error Details:

"Message": "One or more errors occurred. (Error Calling the Graph API: \n{\r\n \"odata.error\": {\r\n \"code\": \"Request_BadRequest\",\r\n \"message\": {\r\n \"lang\": \"en\",\r\n \"value\": \"Invalid value specified for property 'mailNickname' of resource 'User'.\"\r\n },\r\n \"requestId\": \"b2d0d3bf-394d-4ebd-a5b5-d905f1809c19\",\r\n \"date\": \"2019-02-15T06:55:06\",\r\n \"values\": [\r\n {\r\n
\"item\": \"PropertyName\",\r\n \"value\": \"mailNickname\"\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"item\": \"PropertyErrorCode\",\r\n
\"value\": \"InvalidValue\"\r\n }\r\n ]\r\n }\r\n})"

Please help me to solve the issue.

You need to specify the mailNickname as specified by the error:

{
  "givenName": "会话",
  "surname": "宋",
  "mail": "[email protected]",
  "city": "TestCity",
  "state": "hebei",
  "country": "china",
  "postalCode": "1245",
  "mobilePhone": "12345678",
  "mailNickname": "abc",
  "accountEnabled": true,
  "displayName": "displayname-here",
  "passwordProfile": {
    "password": "PasswordHere",
    "forceChangePasswordNextLogin": true
  },
  "userPrincipalName": "[email protected]"
}

I've also included the other properties the documentation mentions are required.
