Degree '°' character not displaying in php json_encode function, how to display this?

Question

I pass php array like

[sit_latitude] => 20° 23.298\' N

inside json_encode(); and output is like,

  {\"sit_latitude\":null}
<         


        

Answer 1

what i tried and succeed was bit strange but worked , so let me share it with you.

$latitude = json_encode(utf8_encode($emplyoee['sit_latitude']));
$longitude = json_encode(utf8_encode($employee['sit_longitude']));

   $emplyoee['sit_latitude'] = $latitude;
    $emplyoee['sit_longitude'] = $longitude;

and now pass like

echo '{"item":'. json_encode($employee) .'}';

this will solve your problem
