I have a text encoded from php with an ajax function with de php utf8_encode.If I print it in the console directly the text is displayed as follows :
\"proj
It is parsed by jQuery. A simple test can show you:
> $.parseJSON('"\\u0092"').length 1 > $.parseJSON('"\\u0092"').charCodeAt(0) 146 > $.parseJSON('"\\u0092"').charCodeAt(0).toString(16) "92"
It only won't get displayed, see @TJCrowders answer for that.
