I created webservice which generate response in Arabic language But it does not display in arabic font. It display ascii code like below.

{"data":[{"id":"1","name":"\u0627\u062e\u062a\u0628\u0627\u0631"}]}

So how can I shown arabic font in response? May I have to set any header for that?

Why do you care about what JSON looks like? You aren't supposed to show it to end user. – Álvaro González May 26 '16 at 09:23
If I send this response to end user then He can convert it to Arabic? – Sadikhasan May 26 '16 at 09:25
The text is encoded in unicode, which can be read by web browser for sure (if proper encoding is set) – Raptor May 26 '16 at 09:28
I got proper output using `echo json_encode($response,JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);` – Sadikhasan May 26 '16 at 09:29

That [**is** Arabic](https://eval.in/577458), there's nothing to convert. And Web Services are designed to be consumed by programs, not people! – Álvaro González May 26 '16 at 09:32
