<?php
header("Content-type: text/csv; charset=GB2312");
$arr = array('丂','亐');
echo json_encode($arr);
?>
Instead providing chinese character array, json_encode return null values.

For me your example works fine. So I guess you are mixing encodings here. Make sure you input the characters using the default utf-8 encoding. Everything else will lead to problems. – arkascha May 06 '13 at 11:47

Have a look at `JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE`. Available since PHP 5.4.0. `echo json_encode($arr, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE); ` – Penny Liu Jun 01 '18 at 01:14

json_encode works with UTF-8 encoded strings only. If you need to create valid json successfully from an Chinese encoded string, you need to re-encode/convert it to UTF-8 first. Then json_encode will just work as documented.
Use iconv for converting encoding, you can also use mb_convert_encoding
$str = iconv("GB2312", "UTF-8", $str);
