Here's a test sample of some UTF8 I get back from a server:

Hi Jacque,
This is valid JSON (and also valid ASCII). In JSON, any character in a
string may be encoded in the form \uXXXX where XXXX is the 4-digit
hexadecimal representation of a Unicode codepoint. No textDecode()
operation is required.
JSONImport() handles this correctly.
1) Create a stack with a field and a button
2) Put the text above into the field
3) Set the script of the button to:
local tJson
put JSONImport(field 1) into tJson
answer tJson["UserName"]
4) Enter browse mode and click the button
You will get an answer dialog displaying "Eduardo Bañuls".
Thank you, and Trevor also, for this. I hadn't heard of importJSON()
before but it seems to be what I need. I'll take Trevor's advice and
textDecode the JSON before running it through JSONImport(). All the
incoming data is being decoded already anyway so I'll just leave that in
place.
