Issue in special character encoding in ajax call

I am having a json file which has special characters in it. But when I make ajax call to get that file, in success callback some characters are converted to �. I have set content-type as:

application/json;charset=UTF-8.

Below is myfile.json content and ajax call:

{
    "image": "images/item.jpg",
    "text": "there’re software products® "
}

$.ajax({
    async:false,
    type: "GET",
    url: "JSON/myfile.json",
    dataType: "json",
    contentType: "application/json;charset=UTF-8",
    success: function (data) {
        arrayobj = data;
    }
});

I tried setting encoding of json file as UTF-8 from ANSI but still � appear.

contentType:"application/x-javascript; charset:ISO-8859-1"

Look at the character encoding of your file. Try to convert your myfile.json to UTF-8 if needed.
