evalJSON losing special characters

evalJSON losing special characters

Hi,

(Hope this is the right place for this - it's related to jquery.json-2.2.min.js)

I have a JSON source (a plain text file) that has some special chars in it (ß, ê etc) and they look correct in the text file. However when I retrieve the file and use $.evalJSON against it the resultant array has things like


instead.

I'm sure I must be missing something obvious,  so for that I apologise in advance, but any help in getting the characters to appear correctly would be greatly appreciated.

(I'm using jquery-1.3.2.min.js and jquery.json-2.2.min.js)

Thanks

Nymor
