Setting the Unicode text of a field from JSON converted to array

[Brahmanathaswami]

Do we need to remove char the "/" before processing? I guess I'll just 
try it.

But there are these end of line/return strings in the middle of 
everything, that represent two line breaks. I use block paragraph 
formatting where all paragraphs or verses are separated by one blank 
line... these appear as

\r\n\r\n

in the JSON and with unicode before and after... are they understood but 
all these unicode functions (LC's, MergJson) etc... ?

bf\u0bb5\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb5\r\n\r\n\u0baa\u0bca


I've got mergJSON and will test that...

You need to process that to change it to the single character numToCodepoint(0x0ba9) or it’s preLiveCode 7 alternative. (The \, u, 0, b, a, and 9 will be UTF-8 encoded though.)
