title: PHP json_encode utf-8 issue on database
body: <p>I got a problem. I use <code>json_encode</code> and after I upload on a database. My files are in utf8 and my database too. But in my database there is some <code>\u00e9</code> and I don't know why ... </p>
  
  <p>EDIT :</p>
  
  <p>There is a simple code :</p>
  
  <pre><code>$toast = array();
      for($i=0;$i&lt;11;$i++)
          $toast[]='é';
  
      $toast = json_encode($toast);
      print utf8_decode($toast);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This doesn't work how can I print a simple array full of 'é' character...</p>
  
  <p>EDIT 2 :</p>

  <pre><code>$toast = array();
      for($i=0;$i&lt;11;$i++)
          $toast[]='é';
  
      $toast = json_encode($toast);
      print $toast;
  </code></pre>
