    The REST API uses wp_json_encode() under the hood to prepare the JSON response. wp_json_encode() transforms any special characters to Unicode, which is what you’re seeing in the response.

    Thanks for this info. But how can we make it to show the actual characters of my local language? Could you point out if it requires any change in wordpress files/configuration?

    Where are you rendering the data from the endpoint? You’ll be able to decode the Unicode on display.

    I am trying to create an android app for my site.I am using ionic framework and wordpress-hybrid-client

    It actually uses this REST API plugin to fetch details from the website. In wordpres-hybrid-client, we have to configure the REST API endpoint.

    After configuring everything, i am not able to see the posts in the frontend, and i believe it is because of these characters(i may be wrong). As if i give some other english wordpress site REST endpoint, i am able to see posts in my application.
    This might be some setting required in the wordpres-hybrid-client library to decode the characters.
    Is there anything on wordpress side that would help fixing this issue.
