json_encode function: special characters

by

The manual for json_encode specifies this:

All string data must be UTF-8 encoded.

Thus, try array_mapping utf8_encode() to your array before you encode it:

$arr = array_map('utf8_encode', $arr);
$json = json_encode($arr);

// {"funds":"ComStage STOXX\u00c2\u00aeEurope 600 Techn NR ETF"}

For reference, take a look at the differences between the three examples on this fiddle. The first doesn’t use character encoding, the second uses htmlentities and the third uses utf8_encode – they all return different results.

For consistency, you should use utf8_encode().
