Answer 1

You need to set the appropriate character set in your HTTP Content-Type header for the HTML page that will ultimately display the data contained in your JSON. Try adding this to the top of your php script:

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset="windows-1255"');

Answer 2

Use a content-type header, as others have suggested:

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=YOUR_CHOSEN_CHARSET');

Try charset=utf8, or charset=iso-8859-8. There's a list of character sets over here.

Answer 3

you may not included appropriate CSS file. also charset variable is another problem while using native languages. use Utf-8 if you are using a unicode font like

also problem may occur, if the created eot font is not good. i am not sure Hebrew need such font.
