json output with native languages?

i am using json output for my application and stored all data in my native language in mysql server with utf8_general_ci

when i am fetching that using json_encode i got the json array but the data format is not supported in that. how can i solve it.

code which i used to create json data.

<?php 
 header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8; pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"');
    include('include/config.php');

    mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf-8' 'ISO-8859-1'");


    //mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET utf8 ISO-8859-1");

    $sth = mysql_query("select v.verse,b.book_name,v.chapter,v.verse_number from tbl_verses_mal v  inner join tbl_books_mal b on v.book_id=b.book_id");
$rows = array();
while($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($sth)) {
    $rows[] = $r;
}
print json_encode($rows);

?>

the output i got is like

[{"verse":"???????? ?????? ???????? ?????? ??? ????????? . ?? ????????? ??? ??????? ????????????????? .","book_name":"Genesis","chapter":"1","verse_number":"1"},{"verse":"???? ??????? ?????????? ??????? : ???????????? ???? ????????????? .????????????? ??????? ??????","book_name":"Genesis","chapter":"1","verse_number":"2"},{"verse":"???????? ?????????? ????? ???? ?????????: ???????? ??????? ","book_name":"Genesis","chapter":"1","verse_number":"3"}]

????? marks represents the language which is in the database. the expected results is like given below

[{"verse":"അയൽകാരന്  ആവശ്യം വരുമ്പോൾ നിങ്ങൾ  കടം കൊടുക്കു. .","book_name":"Genesis","chapter":"1","verse_number":"1"},{"verse":"ഭൂമി  പാഴായും ശൂന്യമായും  ഇരുന്നു : ആഴത്തിന്മീതെ","book_name":"Genesis","chapter":"1","verse_number":"2"},]

how can i solve this issue??

you need to set character set properly try like

mysql_set_charset('utf8');

And mysql_* function are deprecated use PDO or Mysqli instead

mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf-8' 'ISO-8859-1'");

This makes no sense. Set the charset properly:

mysql_set_charset('utf8');
