Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Is you PHP file actually encoded in UTF-8? By the way: JSON’s media type is application/json. — Gumbo

å is outside the range of ASCII, and therefore must be properly utf8-encoded. Try something like this:

"beskrivelse"=>utf8_encode("Vind et....")

This seems to do the trick however do you know how i can avoid the: " When ever my string is printed out it adds the qoutes

The UTF-8 encoded å (0xC3A5) is also out of the range of ASCII (0x00–0x7F).

If you try to encode an array containing non-utf values, you'll get null values in the resulting JSON string. You can batch-encode all the elements of an array with the array_map function:

<?php
$encodedArray = array_map(utf8_encode, $rawArray);
?>
