PHP - Unicode Problem conversion in json output

Question

The outputted string in json is:

 \u062e\u0637\u0627\u06cc \u0627\u062d\u0631\u0627\u0632 \u0647\u0648\u06cc\u062a

I tried json_decode with and without JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE but no luck. Something like:

echo json_decode('\u062e\u0637\u0627\u06cc \u0627\u062d\u0631\u0627\u0632 \u0647\u0648\u06cc\u062a');

It returns nothing!

json_decode() requires valid json so you need to wrap the string in double quotes (which is json notation for a string): json_decode('"\u062e....\u062a"'); — M. Eriksson

Thank you @MagnusEriksson It must be wrapped with '[{"\u062e....\u062a"}]' too. — Morteza

No, you don't need [{ and }]. Just the quotes: "the text". — M. Eriksson

Thanks to Magnus Eriksson's answer, it must be something like:

print_r (json_decode("...json output..."));

Again, the [ and ] aren't necessary.
