I ran it through a JSON validator and it didn't choke at all. Not sure if
it was looking for invalid characters or not, though.

According to the validators it is not valid JSON - nothing to do with
EBCDIC.

I've had similar issues in the past where someone copied a CSV document
using MS Word with the "smart quotes" ( or whatever the stupid thing is )
turned on and then sent out the resulting file saved as text.

Parsing some JSON using YAJL we ran into an issue where some data had
those ASCII left and right quotation marks mainly that we see in word

docs.

“text in left and right quotes”

These of course didn't translate. I'm thinking maybe they don't really
even exist in EBCDIC on the IBM i?

How are these handled normally? XML, JSON, whatever unicode or ascii

data

is coming into the system?
