I doubt this is a problem with simplejson; it seems to handle unicode
characters just fine. I imagine you are passing it a utf-8 encoded
Python bytestring without it knowing what the encoding is. You need
to pass it a proper unicode string - try something like this:
>>> s = 'r\xc3\xb6ck d\xc3\xb6ts' # A utf-8 encoded bytestring
>>> u = s.decode('utf-8') # u is now a unicode string
>>> print simplejson.dumps(u)
"r\u00f6ck d\u00f6ts"
That last line is the correct way of representing unicode in JSON. If
you paste that in to Firebug it renders as "röck döts".
Hope that helps,
Simon
