for ISO-8859-1 i use iconv function like this:

$x=json_decode( // (3) decode json
iconv( // (2) convert accents
‘ISO-8859-1′,’UTF-8′,base64_decode($_POST['d']) // (1) decode base64
)
,true);

where $_POST['d'] is the value sent. Since you’re dealing with multibyte chars you will need the mb_convert_encoding($x,”ISO-8859-1″,”UTF-8″); instead of the iconv. Note that your charset isen’t ISO-8859-1, search the charset code page to know which one is the right one.

The code is as following:

// code is coming ————————–

$marker1 = array(‘name’=>’name1′, ‘id’ => 1);
$marker2 = array(‘name’=>’中文’, ‘id’ => 2 );

// prepare the array
$markers = array(‘markers’=>array($marker1,$marker2));

// convert to json
$output = json_encode($markers);

// set header for json document
if(!headers_sent())
{
header(‘Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8′, true,200);
}

print($output);

As a result,
all is perfect except the chinese characters.
It becomes sth like

\u00e4\u00b8\u00ad

What should I do to make it correct?
