My guess is that the function is probably receiving this string: "FOPIC - Constru\\u"

When it tries to convert the unicode character it returns the "end of data" error because the full unicode value is not present (00e7 for ç).

So the problem is that you are truncating the string with the escaped unicode values (\\u00e7 instead of ç), which is causing the escaped character to be cut in the half.

You should convert the string before truncate.

This is my problem

import json

var="FOPIC - Construção e Investimentos, Lda."


if i do
>>> json.dumps({'name': var, 'value': 1})
'{"name": "FOPIC - Constru\\u00e7\\u00e3o e Investimentos, Lda.", "value": 1}'
>>>

its ok, but i need to truncate the string to the first 18 letters

so i do

>>> json.dumps({'name': var[:18], 'value': 1})

    @Antonio,

    please create a simple example action that causes the error in your
    setup and post it here.
    something like

    # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

    def myfunc():
       return dict(mykey='contruções')
