Receiving Error "Incorrect string value: '\xC5\x9F\xC4\xB1k ...' for column 'query' at row 1" while running query from HUE Hive Query editor

We are running a simple select query with one condition. The query is running fine from hive cli, beeline, zeppelin but when ruuning the same query from HUE Hive query editor, received the below error:

"Incorrect string value: '\xC5\x9F\xC4\xB1k ...' for column 'query' at row 1"

SELECT * from <table_name> WHERE <col> = 'Turkish Characters' ;

HUE Version: 3.9.0

Note:

1.Data has some speacial (Turkish) Characters. Not sure how HUE handles this type of characters.

2.HUE is running in web browser which is in UTF-8,

3.Looking for any configurations in HUE for turkish character encoding.

During initial research, this issue seems to be related to HUE-4889.

Any help?
