JSON encoding wrongly escaped (Rails 3, Ruby 1.9.2)

Question

In my controller, the following works (prints \"oké\")

puts obj.inspect

But this doesn\'t (renders \"ok\\u00e9\")

render :j         


        

Answer 1

Characters were not escaped to unicode with the other methods in Rails2.3.11/Ruby1.8 so I used the following:

render :json => JSON::dump(obj)
