Json *only* supports Unicode text. See http://www.unicode.org/

If you want to send arbitrary binary data, you need to encode it first 
into a textual form, e.g. using base64 encoding.

If you want to sent 8-bit text which is not UTF-8, then you can 
transcode it to UTF-8 (probably the "right thing" in this context), or 
base64 encode it.
