Spring MVC, how to set default page encoding?

Question

Java

Hello :)
There is a REST API on Spring MVC (without Spring Boot if that matters).
Different points should return different MIME types (some JSON, some TEXT). In the case of JSON with Cyrillic, everything is fine, but "text" points return a page with ISO-... encoding and, accordingly, questions instead of Cyrillic.

Treated at the method annotation level, for example:

@DeleteMapping(value = "/employees/{id}", produces = "text/html; charset=utf-8")
// дальше сам метод

But I think it's a bit of a crutch. If there is a way to globally write somewhere that if text/html is returned, use utf-8 encoding?

Good afternoon.
In general, this is not a crutch method, but very normal.
But if you want to add it globally, you can extend the AbstractHttpMessageConverter class
