  Hebrew characters with JSON files

  Posted by Bar Borer on July 11, 2019 at 12:51 am

  whenever I try to use a string from a CSV or a JSON file with any Hebrew characters in it, the string shows as empty.
  I have succeeded in using Unicode escape sequences so this:
  [
{
"id": "01",
"title": "בלאגן",
"sub": "",
"year": 1989
},
{
"id": "02",
"title": "כל הזמן",
"sub": "לא מפסיק לרקוד",
"year": 1990
}
]
  becomes this:
  [
{
"id": 1,
"title": "\u05d1\u05dc\u05d0\u05d2\u05df",
"sub": "",
"year": 1989
},
{
"id": 2,
"title": "\u05db\u05dc \u05d4\u05d6\u05de\u05df",
"sub": "\u05dc\u05d0 \u05de\u05e4\u05e1\u05d9\u05e7 \u05dc\u05e8\u05e7\u05d5\u05d3",
"year": 1990
}
]
  converting the text takes a lot of time, I haven’t find an easy way to get around that, does someone know about anything that can help?
  even a JSON writer that can type automatically with the Unicode escape sequences.
  thank you very much!

  Hey, it has to be text editor which you are using. Just tested this with ‘Brackets’ – no issues.

  Saved file with “בלאגן”, imported into AE – no escapes found.
