Unicode API problem

[heddhunter]

I am making API calls, asking for data returned in json format. Although the HTTP headers from the API indicate Charset: UTF-8, I am seeing encoded entities in the json data. eg: jaïa instead of jaïa.

example API url:

http://fairlight:5193/rest/getMusicDire ... 6174696f6e

i would expect to see "jaïa"... is it possible to have this happen?
