php json_encode how to use " " instead of "+" in text strings?

Question

I encode array of objects to cookie in JS:

prod.name = name;
prod.id = id;
prod.price = cost;
prod.quantity = 1;
Products = [prod];
Cookies.set('cart', Products);

And name looks like "Some product name", but when i'm doing same thing from PHP:

setcookie('products', json_encode($Products));

I got name like "Some+product+name" - is there any way to avoid it, or the only way is to str_replace() + with " " (what is unicode analog for theme)?

UPD. To be simple:

If I setcookie ('cartNew', json_encode(['name' => "Some product name"])); - in cookie I see "+", and JS decode that as "+". Cookie is like %7B%22name%22%3A%22Some+product+name%22%7D - firefox. Also I use UTF-8, and php 5.4

can you put your json encoded data here in your code. thanks. — Death-is-the-real-truth

"I got name like "Some+product+name" " "Got" it how? Cookies are URI-encoded. Whatever you're using to "get" it will need to decode it. — T.J. Crowder

@frenzy It's not really a good idea to store data in a cookie. The best approach is to store a session id in the cookie and then store the data on the server side bound on that ID. When that is said it would properly also make more sense to store the cart's in a database and only store the cart id in the server session storage. — Andreas Louv

Use a RegEx replace to get rid of the the extra '+'s:

prod.name = name.replace(/\+/g, "");

Don't fix the problem after the fact. Figure out where the +s are coming from in the first place and get rid of them there. Something's being en-/decoded in the wrong order here, that's the real issue.

PHP json_encode replaces " " with "+", not adding new
