French Character Display Incorrect
I am using an API service that looks up a Bible verse in French and then returns it as a json lable.
The Raw Jason text looks like this:
I know how to grab the text portion of the Json, but it isn't correctly handling the french character sets. It instead displays it like this:
In case this doen't display well, I'm attaching a test file that shows this more clearly. I assume that it has something to do with changing the encoding. The API help desk I'm using isn't answering me to quickly.
Thanks.

I don't have control over the text being sent to me. It is what I get. I need to know via PHP how to convert what I've been given into readable text on screen.
What you sent me predgrag doesn't help me do that. I can't manually go thru and change each entity that is returned.

Thanks for the insight. Your comments helped me see that in my testing I wasn't correctly putting in the character set in the HTML header.
In my application it works fine because character set is in the header. But with the test it was just dumping raw characters which didn't work.
Thanks again for the help.

instead \u2019 use ’ - find replacements for other characters for HTML Entity (decimal)
