I have been searching about this for the past few days but I don't think I am able to find a correct pointer. Please merge it with the appropriate question if found as duplicate.
I am pretty new to working with JSON and as part of one of my projects I need to decode a JSON file and do further processing on it. However when I tried decoding using the Json-simple library, I get some weird question marks in the parsed object instead of the actual characters. A sample code is shown below:
String str = "{\"alias\": [\"Evr\u00f3pa\", \"\u05d0\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05e4\"]}";
JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();
JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject)parser.parse(str);
System.out.println(jsonObject) gives {"alias":["Evrópa","?????"]}
I tried using Json-lib too with the same result.
Thanks for the help.
