json decode japanese string not working

I am trying to decode json string containing Japanese words.I have tried 

 $rec_data= '{"id":"220011","name":"を送"}';
 $data = json_decode(utf8_encode($rec_data),TRUE);
 var_dump($data);

but it returning 

array(2) { ["id"]=> string(6) "220011" ["name"]=> string(8) "ð" }

I want it to be

array(2) { ["id"]=> string(6) "220011" ["name"]=> string(8) "を送" }

how to resolve this?

You need to use JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE when you encode your array to json.

Online link for testing.

$array =  array("id"=> "220011", "name" => "を送");
$rec_data = json_encode($array, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);

$data = json_decode($rec_data, TRUE);

var_dump($data);

Result:

array(2) { ["id"]=> string(6) "220011" ["name"]=> string(6) "を送" }
