Maybe I should clarify,

The curved quotes were part of the data.... Example:

Your suspicion that these aren't in EBCDIC is mostly correct. (It's
not in the most common EBCDIC code pages. I know of at least one which
*does* have them: CCSID 1112.)

Do you need to preserve them? If you are allowed to "mangle" them,
then the simplest thing is probably to replace them with straight
quotes in preprocessing. If they must be preserved, you could replace
them with the Unicode hexadecimal escape sequences I mentioned earlier
("\u201c" and "\u201d", respectively). Of course, this relies on
whatever "downstream" consumer of the JSON being able to handle those
sequences.
