json_encode（）UTF-8错误

Question

I'm having some problem getting text with special characters (Swedish: "åäö") from the database.

If I just do a normal query,

"SELECT * FROM"  

and the echo out the result:

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
    echo $row['text']; 
}

... the result is fine.

However, when doing json_encode($array), the special characters have been replaced:

{"id":"1","question":"fr\u00e5ga \u00e5\u00e4\u00f6"....

I don't know how many different things I tried, including converting the database to UTF-8, fields to utf8_general_ci, utf8_encode($string), utf8_decode($string), ....

Answer 1

Your output is correct; that's how you're supposed to embed unicode characters in JSON.
