Localstack: Wrong encoding of unicode characters over SNS

[simonDeHero]

Hi,
my current problem is, that when i publish messages containing unicode characters over SNS, and then retrieve the message via subscribed queue, the payload is wrong (wrong encoding?)

e.g.:

aws --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4575 sns create-topic --name my_topic
aws --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4576 sqs create-queue --queue-name my_queue
aws --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4575 sns subscribe --topic-arn arn:aws:sns:eu-west-1:123456789012:my_topic --protocol sqs --notification-endpoint arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:my_queue

then when just using SQS, unicode payload is ok:

aws --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4576 sqs send-message --queue-url http://localhost:4576/queue/my_queue --message-body ö§
aws --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4576 sqs receive-message --queue-url http://localhost:4576/queue/my_queue
// "Body": "ö§", ...

but when publishing to SNS, unicode characters are wrong:

aws sns publish --topic-arn arn:aws:sns:eu-west-1:123456789012:my_topic --endpoint-url http://localhost:4575 --message ö§
aws --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4576 sqs receive-message --queue-url http://localhost:4576/queue/my_queue
// "Body": "{\"Message\": \"\\u00c3\\u00b6\\u00c2\\u00a7\", ... => ö§ (https://www.online-toolz.com/tools/text-unicode-entities-convertor.php)

my localstack version is 0.8.10

thx for having a look!
bye

Having the same issue when publishing to sns. My message contains the string

a1'"_!?,. £$-

which gets converted to

a1'"_!?,. £$-

Thanks for reporting @simonDeHero @izhelev . This should be fixed in #1182 - can you please give it a try with the latest version on master (or latest tag of the Docker image).
