Passing utf-8 strings between php and javascript

I'm having problems passing utf-8 strings to javascript (ajax). Currently i'm using rawurlencode on the PHP side and unescape on the javascrip开发者_运维知识库t side.

The problem is in latin and rawurlencode doesn't support it fully.

Is there any alternative or any better option?

The solution was in json_encode functions. The problems stopped when i added JSON_HEX_APOS|JSON_HEX_QUOT.

Thanks!

use json_encode in PHP and receive responses as JSON (jQuery is helpful) ajax is sent in utf-8 by default, so You just have to return utf-8

php's utf8_encode(data) gets an ISO-8859-1 string as the data argument.

need more suggestions? Tell me where You get the text from ;)

From experience, Javascript's escape() (ant thus unescape()) are not Unicode (UTF-8) friendly. Use encodeURIComponent() and decodeURIComponent() instead.

Anyway, as the docs says:

The escape() function should not be used to encode URIs.

If php is doing the encoding and js decoding whay not simply not encode in php and encode in js as well? Not really an answer so much as a work around i guess.
