in reply to special characters in parsed json rendering badly in browser

Whenever you're unsure about the content/encoding of a string, use Devel::Peek:

use Devel::Peek;
Dump $decoded->{description};
[download]

It will tell you if the string is already utf8 decoded or not. Paste the result here, if unsure.
