Thanks all, Sven solution works.
Yes this is not JSON it's some kind of JSON-like format (Is it yml ? I
don't know it might be proprietary).
I was naive and thought there was some metadata in files precising the
encoding used, and that #readStream on FileReference was able to pick
automatically

BTW, this is not valid JSON.
From Windows, for sure ...

Are you sure that the file is encoded in utf8? Can you try
stream := ZnCharacterReadStream on: (File named: '...') readStream
encoding: 'utf8'.
stream upToEnd.
?
If that does not work, it could mean that the file is in another encoding...

Hi,
I am currently parsing lua and JSON-like file in Pharo. They contain both
Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters for comments and for strings
displayed in the UI. Lua files are parsed correctly. However the JSON-like
files aren't.
In attachment I put one of the problematic file with
