You mean "|json" filter might be changed to convert character encoding?

The current version does no encoding conversion. If input is UTF-8, output
is UTF-8. If input is non-UTF-8 bytes, output is those bytes encapsulated in
UTF-8 structure to comply JSON spec.

Well, I don't think there would be a better way, but I'll happily wait the
freeze of the whole JSON formatting issues.

Thanks for the clarification.
