The program does not support writing in UTF8 or Chinese character！ what should I do？

The program does not support writing JSON object to disk in UTF8 or Chinese character！
However, does support writing JSON object to stata console in UTF8 or Chinese character！

what should I do？

Can you provide a reproducible example? And can you also include which version of Stata and jsonio you are using? It may be related to the accessor methods that were present in Stata 14 when the program was developed. If that is the case I am always open to collaborating with others who can help to address those issues. Otherwise it will likely take me a fair amount of time to trace, identify, and fix any underlying issues.

@wbuchanan Thanks !!
the Jsonio version: Distribution-Date: 20170504
the stata version: se/15

stata code:

clear
input No str16 Nation
       1  "US"
       2  "中国"
end
jsonio out, what(data) 
jsonio out, what(data) file(res.json)

the result in the json file is
{
"source" : "Stata Data",
"name" : "DataSet",
"data" : [ {
"Nation" : "US",
"No" : 1.0
}, {
"Nation" : "中�",
"No" : 2.0
} ]
}

the result should be
{
"source" : "Stata Data",
"name" : "DataSet",
"data" : [ {
"Nation" : "US",
"No" : 1.0
}, {
"Nation" : "中国",
"No" : 2.0
} ]
}

@homecls
Sorry it took a while to get back to this. I just tried the example you provided above and this is what I copied from the resulting res.json file:

{
  "source" : "Stata Data",
  "name" : "DataSet",
  "data" : [ {
    "Nation" : "US",
    "No" : 1.0
  }, {
    "Nation" : "中国",
    "No" : 2.0
  } ]
}

Can you confirm whether/if this is still an issue?
