YUI datatable XHR get not using UTF8

Question

OK, so my datasource is serving json and it's UTF8 encoded. Viewing the json result in the browser or Firebug confirms this. But when the YUI datatable displays the results in a table the UTF encoding is lost, resulting in G�teborg instead of Göteborg

I see according to the documentation provided by Yahoo that you can specify the connection manager to use UTF8 when posting data but I don't see anything about get's over XHR.

var myDataSource = 
    new YAHOO.util.DataSource("crudYuiSqlService.rsb?@fmtoptions=exparen&@json&");
    myDataSource.responseType = YAHOO.util.DataSource.TYPE_JSON;
    myDataSource.connMethodPost = true;
    myDataSource.responseSchema = {
        resultsList: "items",
        fields: \[{
            key: "phone",
            parser: "string"
        }, {
            key: "city",
            parser: "string"
        }, {
            key: "contacttitle",
            parser: "string"
        }, {
            key: "companyname",
            parser: "string"
        }]
    };
