JSON, JavaScript, wrong Japanese Character

Question

I have this on my JSON-file (mydata.json on the server):

    "jp": [ "私はあなたを愛しています！",

and more. There is also "de" and "en" and so on and it is displayed correctly. But with these japanese characters, I get these unrecognizable characters. I have read threads here but I can't find a solution. I think it has something to do with the data from the server, wrong asking header, but don't know, how to fix it. I tried this (found here on stackoverflow) (file.js):

    $.ajax({url: myURL, contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    success: function(dataJSON){        
        console.log(dataJSON); 
            }
    });

End the outputs of the "de" and "en" (and more) are great, but the japanese characters appear like this:

���͂��Ȃ��������Ă��܂��I

How can I fix it?

What kind of header does your server side part of the AJAX call have? — Klemen Tusar

In java side :String str = "私はあなたを愛しています！"; str = new String(str.getBytes("8859_1"), "UTF-8"); — ıllıllı lק ıllıllı

Ah thank you! When I wrote the mydata.json on my server I had to change the coding of the file to Shift-JIS, because there only show me cryptical instead of japanese characters. Now I have changed it (I thought they will disappear, but they don't) to UTF-8 and now it works. Strange. — Klassik

In the server you need unicode http://unicode-table.com/en/#cjk-radicals-supplement In javascript there is no problem because it uses unicode

Try this! Ajax automatically detects the dataType, but here it is explicit.

$.ajax({
    url: myURL, 
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    dataType: "json",
    success: function(dataJSON){        
       console.log(dataJSON); 
    }
});
