Good morning when I make this request:

{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must":  
{  
"match": {  
"titolo": "'.$titolo\_check.'"  
}  
},

```
  "filter": [
    {
      "term": {
        "superficie": "'.$superficie.'"
      }
    },
    {
      "term": {
        "prezzo": "'.$prezzo.'"
      }
    },
    {
      "term": {
        "comune": "'.$comune_s.'"
      }
    }
  ]
}

```

}  
}

I receive this error:  
**Fatal error** : Uncaught exception 'Elasticsearch\Common\Exceptions\ServerErrorResponseException' with message '{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"json\_parse\_exception","reason":"Invalid UTF-8 middle byte 0x22\n at [Source: org.elasticsearch.transport.netty4.ByteBufStreamInput@f9a751; line: 25, column: 30]"}],"type":"json\_parse\_exception","reason":"Invalid UTF-8 middle byte 0x22\n at

The problem occurs when the variable $comune\_s has accents. How could I solve?
