You need to process the JSON data before putting it into a string. As far as I know,LiveCode recognises “\u0ba9” as a string containing 6 characters. You need to process that to change it to the single character numToCodepoint(0x0ba9) or it’s preLiveCode 7 alternative. (The \, u, 0, b, a, and 9 will be UTF-8 encoded though.) That is unless mergJSON “de-escapes" the JSON for you.
