JSON getting "name":"\u05d7\u05d1\u05e8\u05d4" for non-English

I am 开发者_JAVA百科getting a JSON returned by Ajax from PHP json_encode I have a Hebrew characters that turned into "\u05d7\u05d1\u05e8\u05d4"

How can I turn them back into Hebrew?

(The DB is encoded UTF8 and when calling the PHP file the Hebrew is displayed correctly)

You use any (non-broken) JSON parser.

As Quentin pointed out, this is correct. \uXXXX is a correct escape sequence for a unicode character. In fact, if you type in into the firebug console, it will prompt you "חברה". That does look hebrew to me, although I can't tell whether it's correct.

Therefore after parsing the data you received (either with eval or JSON.parse) the character should be unescaped automatically.
